Hey All,

So last week I mentioned a FREE performance tonite of the newset work by theatre-genius Dan Fishback, and today Gawker gave him a HEADLINE!!! So the secret is out - go, dear friends, go to Galapagos tonite:

As it appears in Gawker:

To Do: Barbara Bush Loves The Gays

In "Waiting for Barbara," the first daughter debates whether or not her stable of gays will "destroy each other in a frenzy of queer vitriol and repressed Ivy League rage or do lots of coke, make out, and forget what happened the next morning." Go because playwright Dan Fishback worked so hard during last night's rehearsal, he broke his glasses in his costar's crotch.

- And that's a true story - HCS

EVERYONE, I am a huge fan of this writer-misician-performer, and here is an opportunity to see a workshop of his newest play for FREE! It's next monday, mark it on your calendar. -HCS

Monday, December 4, 8:00pm (FREE)
Galapagos Art Space (70 North 6th St. BKLN)
Off-Stage Fright Productions Presents:

WAITING FOR BARBARA

an upsetting new comedy by DAN FISHBACK
starring Dan Fishback & Max Steele, directed by Michael Schulman,
with a special guest appearance by Julie Lake.


The president's daughter loves her some gays. And they love her back! - especially Davenport Rosenfeld (Fishback) and Bryce Oliver Wilson (Steele). But when she's late to pick them up for a party celebrating the bombing of Bagdhad, our heroes begin to freak out. Will they destroy each other in a frenzy of queer vitriol and repressed Ivy League rage? - or will they do lots of coke, make out, and forget what happened the next morning? There's only one way to find out.

"Waiting For Barbara" is the latest in a string of queer political performances by playwright Dan Fishback, including last summer's "PLEASE LET ME LOVE YOU," about Michael Jackson and the war in Iraq. Also a high-powered secretary, Fishback based "Waiting For Barbara" on workday Myspace conversations with fellow receptionist and co-performer Max Steele.

This WORKSHOP PREMIERE will be followed by a talk-back, so stick around to help the artists develop their deranged comedy.
