Penny Arcade brings Bitch! Dyke! Faghag! Whore! to Albany

Arcade has been causing a stir on the
performance art scene since the 1960s. She began performing in live
theatre events and films in New York when still a teenager and has
been performing solo monologues since the 1980s.

A
celebration of sex, freedom, comedy, politics and art, the show features monologues
performed by Penny Arcade punctuated with an “audience dance break”
and erotic go-go dancing.

The Albany run, from 15 to 23 December 2012, will coincide with the venue’s 30th anniversary.

A spokesperson told Whatsonstage.com: “It’s exciting and fitting that Penny should perform her best known show covering themes of censorship and LGBT issues at the Albany … the venue’s CEO, Gavin Barlow, was a founder of Queer Up North plus the venue was one of the original performance spaces for Gay Sweatshop.”
