"ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S BIG, GAY DANCE PARTY" OPENS OFF BROADWAY 8/11
Published 2010-08-11
Abraham Lincoln's Big Gay Dance Party officially opens Off-Broadway tonight, August 11th at The Acron Theatre at Theatre Row. The show runs until September 5th.
Last summer, the SF Playhouse production of Abraham Lincoln's Big Gay Dance Party took New York by storm, selling out before the first performance and winning "outstanding play" of the 2009 NY International Fringe Festival. In addition, the play received a five star review in Time Out magazine, a nomination for a GLAAD award, and the Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle Award for "Best New Play".
Bill English designed the set for all three productions, and both he and Susi Damilano will attend the New York opening.
In Abraham Lincoln's Big, Gay Dance Party, a fourth-grade Christmas pageant in Lincoln's rural Illinois hometown sets off a firestorm of controversy when it calls into question Honest Abe's sexuality. A thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud funny, and uniquely American story unfolds, offering surprises at every turn. Each of the three acts lets the audience see the story from a different character's viewpoint - and at each performance the audience decides in which order the acts are performed, creating a Rubik's Cube-like theatrical event. A truly democratic theatergoing experience! What could be more American than that?
