Alison Arngrim's CONFESSIONS OF A PRAIRIE B*TCH Adds Show at the Laurie Beechman, 6/18

Americans love their TV villians. They wore black hats with ominous mustaches in the early westerns, while Alexis Colby wore Nolan Miller gowns on "Dynasty" and "Glee's" coach, Sue Sylvester, dawns a tracksuit to terrify students. However, history's #1 TV Bitch (according to Vanity Fair), weaseled her way into hearts world-wide wearing petticoats and a curly blonde wig - Nellie Oleson of the hit series "Little House on the Prairie." You are invited to join the actress who brought "Nasty Nellie" to life for millions of viewers every week and for years to follow in syndication, Alison Arngrim, as she gives audiences a reality check on "the facts of life" like no one else has ever done before in CONFESSIONS OF A PRAIRIE BITCH.

And you thought she was out spoken on that damn Little House on the Prairie? In 2010, Ms. Arngrim released her memoirs similarly titled, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated," through Harper Collins. The book became a record breaking literary success in hardcopy and paperback as well as Kindle sales. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal Best Seller was one of the top 10 selling "TV Related" books on Amazon.

The show plays the Beechman Theatre - 407 West 42nd Street - on Friday, June 14th & Sat June 15th - 7:30 PM - and Tuesday June 18 at 9:30. Tickets: $20 + $15 food or beverage minimum (212) 352-3101 or www.spincyclenyc.com.

The Laurie Beechman proudly offers patrons an amazing evening of entertainment. Fans worldwide remember her as the hateful Nellie Oleson, the acid-tongued hellcat for seven years on TV's Little House on the Prairie, while Alison has gone on to successes in many arenas, but Nellie has remained a centerpiece of her public acclaim. Alison says "Even now strangers sometimes shy away from me until they realize that I'm not going to hurt them." At least, not when she's offstage. In Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, audiences can expect the unexpected and more than a Little Nellie Oleson-style wickedness on this hilarious ride through the twisted heartland of America.

Alison guest-starred on such television classics as The Love Boat and Fantasy Island, and lampooned her own status as "ex-child star" on the month-long parody, "Hollywood Survivor," on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. Her independent films include For the Love of May with RuPaul and The Last Place on Earth, co-starring Billy Dee Williams and Phyllis Diller. A talented stand-up comedian, Alison has created quite a name for herself on the professional comedy circuit, headlining at top Comedy Clubs and venues across the U.S. and Canada, as well as France.

After the passing of her "Little House" co-star Steve Tracy, who died of AIDS in 1986, Alison became a national AIDS Activist for organizations like APLA, providing AIDS education to doctors, nurses, prison inmates, service clubs, churches and schools. Alison stunned viewers of The Larry King Show in 2004 when she revealed her own history of childhood sexual abuse, becoming a advocate on legislature preventing child abuse by joining the advisory board of the National Association to Protect Children (PROTECT).
