Where the heck has Jackie been?? It’s been seven long years since the great "Broadway broad" Jackie Hoffman blew the roof off the Renberg in a solo show. We’re thrilled to announce that she’s coming back! The bitterly funny actor-comic muses about her own decay as she reaches the big Five-Oh and unflinchingly skewers such sacred cows as the Tony Awards and Holocaust movies while she flings acid-dipped barbs at the Broadway hierarchy and does painfully accurate imitations of a gallery of showbiz icons, including Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore. “Mercilessly acerbic and devastatingly funny … the diminutive Hoffman’s bigger-than-life presence electrifies the stage.” –LA Times “Savagely funny” -NY Times “Hilariously grumpy” -TimeOut New York |

FRUIT FLY starring Leslie Jordan (Jan 6 - Feb 18)
FRUIT FLY
OPENS FRIDAY, JANUARY 6 THROUGH SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18!
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm; Sundays at 3pm
Do gay men become their mothers? That is the question asked in Leslie Jordan's hilarious and touching new romp, FRUIT FLY. Mr. Jordan travels back in time using show-and-tell to take the audience on the ride of a lifetime. Childhood recollections combine with perilous teenage shenanigans. From the day a teenage Leslie sits down with his poor, clueless mother to inform her that he has decided to forego college to become a female impersonator, all the way to a Gay Alaskan Cruise on which a 53-year-old Mr. Jordan witnesses his aging mother's astounding metamorphosis (and whose only real concern about a gay cruise to Alaska is that she doesn't want to go ice fishing), Mr. Jordan is in his element. His storytelling skills abound and will make for an evening of fun and thought-provoking theater.
Tickets: $34
