$25 / $20 Public Theater Supporters & Partners

Adrienne Truscott's (Still) Asking For It (A Stand-Up Rape About Comedy Starring Her P.... and Little Else!) is a sex-positive, seriously funny, unflinching and nuanced show about rape culture. Its first iteration, performed in 2013, was a ribald provocation that came for everyone: comedians, rapists, lazy rape-apologists, and the ding-a-ling chodes who think women aren't funny.

Dressed only from the waist up and the ankles down, "brilliantly bold" (Times UK) creator Adrienne Truscott will be joined onstage by cast members Shamika Cotton (The Wire), Jenn Kidwell (Underground Railroad Game), and Mari Moriarty (Jet of Blood). The run will also feature different special guests - comedians, sexual assault survivors, anti-harassment allies and more - at each performance. This weekend's guests include Scott Adsit, Martha Graham Cracker (aka Dito Van Reigersberg), Jenn Harris andGus Solomons jr. Past guests include Becca Blackwell, Amanda Duarte, Aparna Nancherla, Dane Terry and many more!

&MORE (CHILL MOODY & DONN T)
Saturday, October 12 at Midnight

When it comes to the dynamic between rapper Chill Moody and singer Donn T, the two couldn't be more aligned. The Philadelphia-based musicians, who met at an industry party in late 2016, knew of each other's music prior to meeting, but soon decided to share ideas with one another in the studio and independently came to the same conclusion: to form a group and create along the same wavelength.

$15

Christopher Sears is an artist from a family of theater makers. His songs draw inspiration from brave storytellers like Jaques Brel, Nina Simone, Edith Piaf, Freddie Mercury, and Leonard Cohen.

His songs lilt and soar as brilliant anthems rising and crashing like the sea using elements of dialogue, harmony and chorus they create an immediate world of chaos and unity. A Circus of Now.

She composes songs in which she professes her unconditional love for Latin American folklore in all its dimensions and in which she tells micro stories that speak of love, ecology, junk food, and universal themes from her particular vision and grace. Her style was formed in the suburban tango, but she also draws from rock music and the Argentinian "Tropical Wave" style.
