"Unrelentingly engrossing, assaulting, entertaining, appalling, very funny and
bloomingly sick" - Other Stages
"A raucous variety show, fueled by the kind of energy and campy panache that used to
make Off-Off Broadway so much fun." - SoHo News
War in the Middle East! Right-wing Christians! Arab terrorists! Global warming and
Britney Spears' vagina! All signs of the impending Apocalypse? We think so. Our
solution? Let's put on a show!
Back after rave reviews, sold-out houses and 25 years, "VOIDEVILLE: The Last Show on
Earth" returns for three weeks only! First presented to critical acclaim and packed
audiences in 1979, VOIDEVILLE is more inappropriate and sicker than ever. Consisting
of every kind of entertainment, from a spastic Lion Tamer to Dildo The Clown, it
features elaborate and hilarious production numbers that underline the theme of a
post-apocalyptic world in which this is the last vestige of entertainment.
Different guest stars from the New York underground scene appear in every performance,
including Miss Exotic World Julie Atlas Muz, drag legend Lavinia Co-op, burlesque
queen Howlin' Vic and many others.
The show was created by and stars Gordon Bressack and Ruby Lynn Reyner, both veterans
of the infamous Playhouse of the Ridiculous.
Gordon Bressack is a three-time Emmy Award winner for writing the hit animated
television shows "Animaniacs" and "Pinky & The Brain". He is also the first ever
recipient of the Writer's Guild Animation Writing Award. Ruby Lynn Reyner, a recipient
of the Drama Desk Award for acting, also headlines the rock group Ruby & The Rednecks,
the original opening act for The New York Dolls. Ruby was last seen in Taylor Mac's
2006 production of "Red Tide Blooming" at PS122.
