"CANDY TASTES NICE" MAKES OFF BROADWAY PREMIERE 7/7
Published 2010-07-07
Miranda Huba's CANDY TASTES NICE is set to premiere Off Broadway at HERE (145 6th Ave. -Enter on Dominick, 1 Block South of Spring) from July 7-10th.
Written and performed by Miranda Huba, CANDY TASTES NICE follows the story of a young girl determined to auction off her virginity. What starts off as a simple bid to re-pay student loans turns into a mass media frenzy, and soon countries are bidding against each other in order to obtain the girl's elusive innocence. Directed by Shannon Sindelar, CANDY TASTES NICE is an investigation of our society's ease with women's exploitation in our pop-culture world and our acceptance of a skewed view of sexuality as it is portrayed in the media. With design by Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew and Bobby McElver.
