"Hooker chic"

I had the pleasure of ushering a gig that was only at Loose Moose for a short stint.

The show in question is Raunch - The Rise of "Female Chauvanist Pigs". It stars Alice Nelson (pictured) and Jacqueline Russell and is directed by Kelly Reay. The show is an almost hour long statement about society's effect on women. It makes this statement using puppet shows, dance routines, commentary and history lessons and does so with humour, unbridled enthusiasm and a little bit of raunch. Inspired by the works of Ariel Levy, this two woman play is a force to be reckoned with as it shines the light on how media is having an effect on how girls dress, think, act, modify their bodies, play and perform. No topic is off-limits in this play. If you aren't engaged in conversation after watching this performance, you're dead.

Watch for Raunch at a Fringe festival near you this summer.
