What becomes a gossip columnist most?
By Michael Musto
If the idea of food, ivory tinkling and screaming, sweaty men in tights sounds like a good night out, then your dreams can come true at the Rotten to the Core Gala. The evening fund-raiser — hosted by local arts groups Mildred’s Umbrella Theatre and Bobbindoctrin Puppet Theatre — aims to raise funds so they can tour Rot, an original play by John Harvey. The narrative involves a man dying of the plague, a wife who longs for Arizona, strange guys in underwear, a woman with huge pyromania problems and a fetal pig. We’re sure it all makes sense somehow—or at least more than the Twin Peaks movie did. The evening includes a buffet dinner, drinks, piano sing-along with Keith Reynolds, improvisational free jazz music from The Defenestration Unit and live matches with the absurdist Doomsday wrestlers. Although “absurdist wrestler” might be a bit redundant.
