Best Little Crackhouse in Philly
Every Sunday, September 16, 23 & 30 at 8 p.m.
This is a special performance of the newly expanded "Best Little Crackhouse in Philly (Or... Crackwhore, the Musical!)" by Stan Peal, with costume prizes for best-dressed audience crackwhore, drug dealer or other street character. It will not compete for the Golden Pineapple this year, but will be a special event in the downstairs theatre, followed by a party. The one-act version of this outlandish musical won both the Golden Pineapple and Platinum Pineapple in previous festivals. The new version takes us further into the crackhouse than ever before, with a visit from Necrophiliac Jack and a flashback on Skank's demented childhood.
