Bananas Burlesque (or, “Are Straight People Okay?”) is a Tennessee Williams-inspired vaudeville that takes an unconventional peek at some of the accomplished author’s favorite archetypes. Join host and playwright Lefty Lucy as she introduces our lovers — named simply “HE” and “SHE” — as they sing, dance, and joke their way through the traps of social expectation in an effort to defy fate and find freedom.
ONE WEEKEND ONLY!!!
After the smashing premiere of her original burlesque play — A Peep Show Named Desire — in 2021, Lefty Lucy turned around and wrote ANOTHER Tennessee Williams inspired variety show — Bananas Burlesque!
This original vaudeville is Chock full of everything you’d expect from a Tennessee Williams drama, but with a bit more battiness, a side of striptease, a dash of drag, and absolutely too many banana jokes! PLUS don’t miss your chance to see P-Town's Rising Star Drag King, Gina Carmela!
Catch this silly sendoff of some of Tennessee Williams most beloved works, and then some, March 23 - 25, only in New Orleans.
8pm March 23 / 24 / 25
“I was not only struck by the sheer virtuosity of Lefty’s performance skills, but also by how well-structured show was.”
— Bess Rowen for Medium
