PRESS
"Company Co-Founder Elaina Di Monaco directs the over-the-top story of drag wars, dive bars, and demonic possession with a fast pace and a keen eye for Walker’s saucy characterizations, biting humor, and insightful observations about outsiders."
"the actors bring youthful energy and a no-holds-barred hilarity to their exaggerated cinematic stereotypes, playing them to the hilt with a flawless ease of delivery, terrific comic timing, fully believable accents, and wildly engaging interactions..."
– Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts
"The production is brought to life by seriously committed comic performances from the nine-member cast, directed by Elaina Di Monaco."
– Chris Munden, Phindie
ABOUT
Birdie's Pit Stop is the shittiest bar in the shittiest part of the shittiest town. But when a tribe of queers from the north east crash in--all hell breaks loose. Literally. A play about demonic possession, drag queens, sacrifice, stuffed deer heads, and Jennifer Lopez.
