Strand Theater Co Presents Glitter and Spew

Fresh from a workshop production in the Strand Theater Company's Friends & Neighbors Festival 2011 in June, California-based playwright Alison Luterman's three short plays full of Glitter and Spew form a three-ring-circus meditation on media exposure, shame, and personal responsibility. In A Night in Jail, a newly incarcerated starlet is shocked to discover that her guard can't be bribed and that her visitor is a dead French monarch. The bitter wife of a disgraced politician goes rogue-much to the dismay of her adult children-during an awkward satellite interview in The Toilet Stall. When the titular Freak tries some incognito pre-natal shopping, she can't avoid the advice of a fellow shopper or the judgment of the sperm donor who made it possible for her to become "Dodecamom."

Glitter and Spew is an edgy alternative to traditional-and too-often saccharine-holiday programming. "Strand audiences really love the combination of the ridiculous with the outrageous, and this hour-long triptych of plays about people behaving badly offers a hilarious judgment of our pop culture obsessions." Folks who've had enough of Scrooge, Nutcrackers, and impish elves should find Glitter and Spew an oasis of snark. Actors Elise Edwards, Ryan Nicotra, and Melissa O'Brien pull triple duty, appearing in all three plays.
