| A (Bearded) Lady EXIT Theatre FRIDAY OCT 2nd 7pm |
by Billie Cox (Author) SOLO PERFORMANCE, SMOKING OR FIRE, NOT FOR CHILDREN UNDER 12 |
A BENEFIT PERFORMANCE FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO FRINGE FESTIVAL.
After more than a century on the carnival circuit, the Bearded Lady comes
to the San Francisco Fringe to perform what may be her final show. Now with
the privilege of death, she in a tell-all tale, once again gives her audience
fright and delight. Step up, step up, Ladies and Gentleman, and see for
yourself!
Written by Billie Cox and presented by Larissa Garcia, A Bearded Lady pays
tribute to the carnival life, its deviance and its dignity.
