Running With Scissors presents a one-night-only benefit reading of John Waters' camp classic
FEMALE TROUBLE
Tuesday, October 20 at 8pm • One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse Street, New Orleans
Running With Scissors’ cast of cut-ups return to their juvenile and delinquent roots for a very special staged reading of John Waters’ cult classic FEMALE TROUBLE. Seating is limited for this event—the company’s annual fundraiser—so make your reservations early!
The trouble in FEMALE TROUBLE begins on a peaceful Christmas morning in Baltimore, Maryland, when rebellious teen Dawn Davenport doesn’t get the cha-cha heels she’d asked for. (Because, as mom and dad insist, “Nice girls don’t wear cha-cha heels!”) This seemingly minor incident sends Dawn into a tizzy, and sets her and her friends Chicklette and Concetta on a lifelong path of crime. You’ll watch in wonder as Dawn becomes a single mother and raises the worst (and ugliest) 14-year-old girl in the world! You’ll luxuriate with Dawn as she becomes a high-fashion supermodel under the tutelage of snooty salon owners Donald and Donna Dasher. You’ll be riveted as Dawn goes toe-to-toe with her neighborhood nemesis, Aunt Ida. And you’ll surely shed a tear when Dawn’s antics finally send her up the river and into the electric chair. (Or maybe you’ll cheer. Who’s to say?) Don’t miss Brad Caldwell, Wesley Callaway, Leon Contavesprie, Marcy Hesseling, Dave Hotstream, Jack Long, Elizabeth Pearce, Dorian Rush, and Brian Peterson as Dawn Davenport in this hilarious, unforgettable, one-night-only extravaganza!
PLEASE NOTE: Tickets purchased online can be picked up at the door about one hour prior to curtain. Tickets are not mailed. Please arrive by 7:30 to claim your tickets. Any tickets not retreived by 8:00pm will be re-sold to patrons on the waiting list -- but we'll totally still try to find you a seat!
