Dixon Place Closes Holly Hughes in Let Them Eat Cake 12/18

Let Them Eat Cake is the wedding nightmare your mother warned you about, a gay marriage gone wrong that asks the guests to salvage The Situation by interrogating what it means to be married, single, gay, straight, commitment-phobic, a joiner, included or jeering from the outskirts. Come for the cake, if nothing else!

Holly Hughes is a writer and performer. She takes pride in driving Jesse Helms to his grave, she wishes she could have done it a little quicker. She is a 2010 Guggenheim Fellow, an Obie award winner, recipient of grants from NYSCA, NYFA, the MAP Fund and even from the NEA, when they used to do crazy things like funding living artists. She is the author of "Clit Notes: A Sapphic Sampler" and the forthcoming: "Memories of the Revolution," co-edited with Alina Troyano. She is an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan where she co-directs the BFA in Performance.
