“‘Stiff Drink!?’ with Dr. Eustice Sissy (Psy.D.), presents: ‘Corona Cam Show’”:

Through gay nonsense, original songs, and a collision of stillness and madness, Corona Cam Show is one less night you’ll have to spend alone.

Created by Lee Rayment

Written by Nic Adams

Directed by Rayment and Adams

With original music by Adams

Starring Lee Rayment and Fernando Gonzalez

Featuring: Becca Blackwell, Leonie Bell, Nic Adams, Cristina Pitter, and surprise guests!

Driven to near madness by quarantine and the moratorium on live shows, dating-advice cabaret iconoclast Dr. Eustice Sissy (played by Rayment) enrolls the help of his personal assistant/nephew/interim producer Toby (played by Fernando Gonzalez) to bring his extravaganza to a new audience—YouTube! While Sissy bemoans the loss of his second true calling (still a practicing Psy.D.), Toby flourishes: finding love, equanimity, and sass.

The Exponential Festival:

~ A pleasure, a mess, a thrill, and a dream. ~​

Exponential is the only month-long January festival dedicated to New York City-based emerging artists working in experimental performance. The participants in this multi-artist, multi-venue festival are committed to ecstatic creativity in the face of commercialism. Exponential is driven by inclusiveness and a diversity of artists, forms, and ideas coupled with utopian resource-sharing, mentoring and the championing of risky, rigorous work in eclectic fields to keep theatre kicking.
