WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Inspired by Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano," Bald Diva! is a spirited farce that skewers the absurdities of gay urban life. The tragical spectacle of la vie Chelsea, featuring sizzling firemen, probing detectives, saucy maids, steam room escapades, provocative party games, low-rent musical numbers on fabulous cardboard sets, piping-hot celebrity dish, the latest fashion trends and beauty secrets, narrow escapes of reality, death-defying mental acrobatics and more Divas than you can shake your stick at!
Written by David Koteles, and directed by Jason Jacobs. Presented by Theatre Askew.
