Cherry Red Presents Wife Swappers 12/2-18
By: Gabrielle Sierra Nov. 24, 2010
Cherry Red Productions is a legendary company that paved the way for Landless, Molotov and all of the other "fringe-style" companies around Washington. Far from the plush seated mainstream theaters, Cherry Red produced grungy theatre for the love of grungy theatre, imbuing it with their own special smutty style. Whether you loved it or it made your skin crawl, you had to admire their balls. After several years based in NYC, Cherry Red is back in DC with a new production at DCAC featuring LTC friends Lucrezia Blozia, Tony Greenberg, Kris Roth, Catherine Aselford and more. Artistic Director Ian Allen has long been a supporter of Landless, and now is a chance to support his work. So put on your daddy pants, leave the kids at home, and go see this eye-popping production while you can!

"Cherry Red is always on the most vulgar of cutting edges." -Wash Post
Jake and Lorette are a couple of godfearing churchgoing Republicans who know how to get their rocks off. And this Christmas is gonna be a doozy as they invite a group of lick-minded peers to the hottest, horniest, swingin'-est fuck-fest ever to go down in Orange County. Please no booze, no noobs, no homos.

Starring Catherine Aselford, Judith Baicich, Lucrezia Blozia, Carlos Bustamante, Tony Greenberg, Michael Miyazaki, Richard Renfield, Kris Roth. Costumes by Rhonda Key. Set and Lights by Kim Deane.

About the show...
Wife Swappers will mark Cherry Red Productions' first full stage production in nearly three years. Our last DC outing, Freak House, which was produced in association with The Lobster Boy Revue in 2007, was a jam-packed affair that was gangbanged by audiences and media alike. (Did you catch Arch Campbell getting spanked by zombie strippers on the evening news?). Now we're moving on to an actual gangbang.
Wife Swappers will be Cherry Red's third collaboration with L.A.-based writer and cult phenom, Justin Tanner. Our acclaimed production of Zombie Attack! in 2000 was followed by Coyote Woman, a hit in 2003, starring DC dragstress Lucretia Blozia as the titular werewolf-ess. This year's been good to Tanner: Laurie Metcalf and French Stewart starred in Voice Lessons in NYC, and Procreation - "about a 70-year-old woman pregnant with octuplets and her horrified family" - played to raves this spring in his hometown of L.A.
Cherry Red's artistic director, Ian Allen, will co-direct Wife Swappers with Cherry Red company member Kate Debelack. The two are longtime friends, often working together, both on stage, as Gertrude and Claudius in Spamlet, as well as behind the scenes, most recently on the company's two feature films,Trapped by the Mormons and Snuff.mov.
Founded in 1995 by Ian Allen and Chris Griffin, Cherry Red Productions has served up numerous silly, naughty hits in DC, including Cannibal Cheerleaders on Crack, Angel Shit, and Poona the Fuckdog and Other Plays for Children. Other productions like Killer Joe, "Kenneth, What Is the Frequency?" and Hellcabhave showcased the company's darker, more thoughtful side. Wife Swappers falls squarely on the silly side of the Cherry Red spectrum, keeping happy company with past hooters like Worm Girl, Dingleberries, and Baked Baby.
