Reform School Girls!

Running With Scissors' cast of cut-ups return to their juvenile and delinquent roots for a one-night-only staged reading of the cult classic Reform School Girls.

Wednesday, May 21st at One Eyed Jacks at 8PM
Seating is limited for this special event-the company's annual fundraiser-so make your reservations early!
All tickets are $25. Buy Your Tickets Now!

Reform School Girls tells the story of Jenny Williams, a good girl with bad taste in men who lands at Pridemore Juvenile Facilities. It's a rough and tumble world inside those cinderblock walls, filled with potential friends and even more potential enemies-notably leather-clad Charlie, lecherous Nurse Edna, and domineering ultravixen, Warden Sutter (played by punk rocker Wendy O. Williams, Warhol girl Pat Ast, and cult queen Sybil Danning, respectively, in the film). Will Jenny survive on The Inside? And how many will perish under Edna's evil reign? Join Brad Caldwell, Bob Edes, Jr., Donald Lewis, Jack Long, Sean Patterson, Brian Peterson, Lisa Picone, Dorian Rush, Cammie West, and Liz Zibilich to find out!

Take Fleur de Tease to L.A. Fundraiser!

We love the fabulous ladies of Fleur de Tease Burlesque, but they need to stretch their spangles and glitter a bit and venture across the country.

The troupe is having their "Take us to L.A." fundraiser this Friday, May 23rd at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse
It is an interactive party where you can pop a balloon girl or take a picture with some lovely burlesque dancers. DJ Soul Sister, Brass Bed, Aurora Aerial, and Fleur de Tease will be performing. There are also will be the Camel Toe Lady Steppers, and the Dirty Coast Ninjas. Some of The Big Easy Rollergirls will be acting as Vanna Whites on roller skates to help auction off all of their fabulous raffle items. You can even win a date with Fleur de Tease.

One Eyed Jack's Recap

Thanks to everyone who made our August 25th fundraiser/calendar debut at One Eyed Jacks a smashing success.

The place start filling up early, with fans and rollergirls alike anxious to see the completed calendar. While most rollergirls were use to tired feet at the end of their events, many were unaccustomed to tired hands. More than one rollergirl commented on how sore their hands were from autographing all of those calendars.

As always, Nutty McGillicutty and The Right Reverend Psycho Ward were in top comic form.

When Fleur de Tease took the stage, the crowd surged forward to watch these beautiful ladies pay homage to the exquisite art of burlesque. Fan dances, grass skirts and dreidels… The crowd fluctuated between hearty cheers and silent gasps of awe-inspired astonishment.

With Chess and Asian acting as our Vanna Whites for the evening, they assisted Nutty and The Reverend in handing out various prizes generously donated by many local businesses. Some lucky person’s teeth are going to be a lot brighter, skin a little more inked, and stomach a little more full after that night.
