Two great shows in The Victory Garden Theater Fresh Squeezed Series- Tim Miller’s “Lay of the Land” and Holly Hughes’ “The Dog and Pony Show (Bring Your Own Pony)”

Tim Miller’s “Lay of the Land”
March 15, 2010-March 21, 2010

“Tim MIller’s Lay of the Land” is Tim Miller’s saucy, sharp-knifed look at the State of the Queer Union during a time of trial! Careening from his sexy misadventures performing in 45 States, to Marriage Equality street protests, to the electoral assaults on queer people all over the country, to his life as a grade-school flag monitor, to choking on cheap meat caught in his 10 year old gay boy’s throat, LAY OF THE LAND friskily gets at that feeling of gay folks being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu! “Tim MIller’s Lay of the Land” is a “lay” in all kinds of ways: a sex-assignation, a queer citizenship map, and of course a narrative ballad with a recurrent refrain! (Miller’s favorite way-down-the-list definition for “lay”!)

Here’s a video “Tim Miller’s Lay of the Land”

Holly Hughes’ “The Dog and Pony Show (Bring Your Own Pony)”
March 18, 2010-March 21, 2010

Autobiography, animal behavior, and bald-faced lies create this poetic meditation on midlife crisis in the key of canine. After years as a self described “professional homosexual,” our heroine gives up preaching to the perverted and pestering the religious right. She takes a real job at a prestigious university, acquires a small pack of dogs, and discovers that as we age, the thin membrane that divides the animal from the human dissolves entirely.
