Actor, satirist, and performance artist non pareil Penny Arcade became a member of New York’s Playhouse of the Ridiculous at 17, and invented her nom de guerre while tripping on LSD. She created her best known piece BITCH! DYKE! FAGHAG! WHORE! in 1990, and her work is collected in the Semiotext(e) volume Bad Reputation. This weekend Penny brings her monologue LONGING LASTS LONGER to UCLA. “Mixed live to euphoric soundscapes,” this Los Angeles debut is presented by the Center for the Art of Performance at UCLA (CAP UCLA), and co-directed and designed by Steve Zehentner.

 

PENNY ARCADE: LONGING LASTS LONGER, Saturday, April 8 at 8 pm; Sunday, April 9 at 7 pm.

FREUD PLAYHOUSE, UCLA.
