Dead Darlings with Amanda Duarte (#pussygrabsback Founder/Writer) | Gay Apparel Edition

Amanda Duarte, Host of Dead Darlings invites special guests:
Alexander Chee (Author, The Queen of the Night, Edinburgh)
John Early (Comedian/Actor, Search Party, Netflix’s Characters, Wet Hot American Summer)
Cole Escola (Writer-Performer, Difficult People, Cole Escola is the First Gay President)
Brandon Voss (Entertainment Journalist, The Advocate, Playbill)

WHAT:
A monthly NYC Salon in which NYC personalities perform, read, sing, whatever a piece of their work that died on the cutting room floor.

WHY:
The Holidays are a risky time for suicides and in the wake of you-know-who’s ascent, calls to The Trevor Project have skyrocketed, so this edition, we will be asking for a $10 donation, and will donate it all to The Trevor Project.

Dead Darlings is back this month with GAY APPAREL Edition!  This month there is a suggested donation of $10 that will go to The Trevor Project to help with the high volume holiday season. Guests will be Alexander Chee (Author, The Queen of the Night, Edinburgh), John Early (Comedian/Actor, Search Party, Netflix’s Characters, Wet Hot American Summer), Cole Escola (Writer-Performer, Difficult People, Cole Escola is the First Gay President) and Brandon Voss (Entertainment Journalist, The Advocate, Playbill). Show starts at 8pm, but get there early for tunes, snacks and booze at 7:30pm!

Host, Amanda Duarte is best known as of late for being a prominent feminist voice throughout the election. She’s the author and originator of the trending hashtag and anthem, #PUSSYGRABSBACK, and she co-created the iconic graphic along with feminist writer, Jessica Bennett.

It’s a cardinal rule of writing, an art form in which editing is Pope. In order to get that play, novel, story or song into fighting shape, a writer must be willing to cut out material that feels like the child of their soul, but just doesn’t quite fit the piece… in writerspeak, we say- “Kill Your Darlings.” Sometimes these precious soul children resurface in other pieces, but often they pile up on the desktop, never to find a home… until now. Come see New York’s hottest writers, artists and performers resurrect their favorite dead darlings LIVE ON STAGE… in the perfect spot for a resurrection- A CHURCH! The show is hosted by writer-performer and female drag queen Amanda Duarte (co-writer of the “Hurt Locker: The Musical” faux-bill for Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Internet Feminist, downtown comedy and storytelling regular).
