THEATRE + COMEDY

DiverseWorks presents Kristina Wong – Cat Lady, March 24 – 26, 2011, 7:30 PM, a DiverseWorks Co-Commission.

Cat Lady is Ed Hardy meets Lord of the Flies meets cat pee. CAT LADY is an interdisciplinary performance blending the parallel worlds of two pathetically lonely personas living at the margins of gender and society-musty cat ladies (who make solo performance for a living) and fast-talking male pick-up artists.

This multi-media theater piece incorporates the psychology behind hoarding (both of animals and humans), pick-up artist techniques, anecdotes from unmarried women who live alone with cats ("cat ladies"), and Kristina Wong's attempts to simultaneously end racism and get her cat to stop spraying.

Directed by The Rude Mechanicals' Shawn Sides and featuring Kristina Wong, Miss Barbie Q, Clayton Shane Farris and Jabez Zuniga.

Cat Lady is co-commissioned by DiverseWorks with ODC Theater and the National Performance Network, and is supported by the National Performance Network Creation Fund and Residency Program. More information at NPNweb.org.
