FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Beowulf Alley Theatre Company Presents 3 Guys in Drag Selling Their Stuff

(Tucson, AZ- February 3, 2009) — Beowulf Alley Theatre will present the fourth play of their main stage season, 3 Guys in Drag Selling Their Stuff by Edward Crosby Wells, at their theatre located at 11 South 6th Avenue (Downtown between Broadway and Congress). Winner of the 2000-2001 Spotlight on Best Play Award for Excellence in Off-Off Broadway Theatre, 3 Guys in Drag Selling Their Stuff is a raucous, raunchy, gut-busting, more than a laugh-a-minute play with ADULT CONTENT. Diva, Lillian and Tink (three men in drag) are having a yard sale to raise funds for a Faberge egg in which to place the ashes of Diva’s dead husband. We meet an entire neighborhood of characters through the eyes of the “ladies” during the course of their yard sale. Directed by Cynthia Jeffery, the cast includes Richard Chaney, Kenton Jones and Mike Sultzbach. This project is supported in part by funds from the LGBT-Straight Alliance Fund, a special project of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona.

The $10 Preview performance is on Friday, February 13 at 7:30. The run is from Saturday, February 14-Sunday, March 1. Performances are on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 and Sunday matinees at 1:30. The single ticket price is $20. There are online discounts for single tickets and groups of 4 admissions when you purchase your tickets at www.beowulfalley.org. The running time is approximately two hours and twenty minutes including the intermission.

The Thursday, February 19 performance is a benefit and post-show reception for Wingspan. Tickets are an additional $10 ea. The additional funds will be given directly to this deserving community service organization. The reception is hosted by Pastiche Modern Eatery. Please join us for some fun while contributing to a worthy cause.
