THE TRIBUTE ARTIST: VIRTUAL READING

written by and starring CHARLES BUSCH
directed by CARL ANDRESS

We are thrilled to kick off our renewed partnership with 59E59 Theaters by virtually reviving the last show we presented on their stage – The Tribute Artist by Charles Busch. This show, originally presented in our 2013/14 Season, features Busch as an out-of-work female impersonator who, when his elderly landlady dies in her sleep, takes on her identity in order to hang on to her valuable Greenwich Village townhouse. This ‘perfect’ scheme goes awry and leads to a wild path of twists and reversals plotted by an eccentric rogues gallery of outrageous schemers. Expect Busch’s signature blend of quick-witted banter and gender-bending hijinks in this play by the master of farce.

Opening Night will include an exclusive post-performance talkback and online celebration via Zoom with members of the cast and artistic staff.

Run time: 2 hours and 10 minutes including intermission
