Dead Darlings: October Surprise Edition

Hosted by Amanda Duarte

Featuring:
Lucy Alibar (Oscar-nominated screenwriter, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Throw Me On The Burnpile And Light Me Up)
Cole Escola (writer-actor, Difficult People, Cole Escola Is The First Gay President)
Julie James (cabarettista/radio host, The Julie James Show on Sirius XM, 54 Below)
Gretchen Robinette (photographer, The New York Times, High Times magazine, Rolling Stone)

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).

Show starts at 8pm, but get there early for tunes, snacks and booze at 7:30pm!
