POUND

Dixon Place’s (Ellie Covan, Founding & Artistic Director) new commission POUND, starring GLAAD Award-winner and Drama Desk nominee, Marga Gomez, will begin performances on Friday, July 10^th.

HOT! offers theater, music, dance, puppetry, performance and homoeroticism for the whole family. POUND will play six performances only – July 10^th, 11^th, 17^th, 18^th, 24^th, and 25^th at 7:30PM, at Dixon Place (161A Chrystie Street). Tickets are $16 in advance, $20 at the door, and $12 for seniors and students. Tickets can be purchased by visiting www.dixonplace.org or by calling 866-811-4111.

Written and performed by Marga Gomez and directed by David Schweizer, POUND is a hilarious journey in which Gomez plays herself & a delicious coterie of cinema’s most notorious lesbians. Facing unwanted celibacy, Gomez scours dating sites and fortuitously opens a portal to a cloud-based female-loving Bermuda Triangle where notorious lesbian cinematic archetypes (plumbers, showgirls, murderers and school teachers) hook up in spectacularly “meta” ways.
