Wasablanca returns to The Bell House

THIS Friday, April 26
Nasty Canasta, Wasabassco & Wit's End present

Wasablanca at The Bell House
A tribute to the classic film, featuring live music, cocktails, well-dressed people
and plenty of saucy striptease.


You’re invited to a fully immersive evening right out of the golden age of the silver screen when The Bell House transforms into a Moroccan den of intrigue, cocktails, jazz, blackmail and burlesque - all inspired by the classic Oscar-winning film Casablanca.

It’s 1941(ish) and the unoccupied area of Brooklyn known as Wasablanca remains one of the last holdouts of freedom against the marching forces of fascism. At The Bell House people come to drink, dance, play games of chance and indulge in acts of subterfuge, conspiracy and illicit liaisons - because in Wasablanca the drinks are cheap, but freedom comes at a price.

The night’s festivities will feature burlesque from Wasabassco; live music all night by The Gelber & Manning Band; a complex struggle of liberty against tyranny from ecdysiast playwright Nasty Canasta; and exquisitely crafted cocktails, jazz age ambience, and all the period dress, glamorous gowns, snazzy suits and fezzes you’ve come to expect from Wit’s End. It’s a party, it’s a play, it’s a show, it’s … Wasablanca.

Featuring:
Deity, Doc Wasabassco, Don Spiro, Broadway Brassy, Evelyn Vinyl, Handsome Jim Greene, Hazel Honeysuckle, Kita St. Cyr, Marlo Marquise, Nasty Canasta, Poison Ivory, Sapphire Jones, Stormy Leather, and more.

The Bell House - 149 7th Street (bet 2nd & 3rd Ave), Brooklyn

$20 Admission
8pm-Midnight

Naked Girls Reading presents
BEAUTIES and BEASTS
Wednesday, April 17th at 9:00 pm





New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY) presents an evening of beautiful beasts and beastly beauties, as Naked Girls Reading presents BEAUTIES AND BEASTS. The hit nude literary salon goes beyond the fairy tale with stories of bombshells and brutes, sirens and savages, dolls and devils; horrible monsters rescued from the jaws of lovely princesses; and some of literature and history's most bewitching and most depraved.

Host Nasty Canasta welcomes Bunny Love, Jenny C'est Quoi and Jezebel Express for a night of good looks and bad behavior, as the Naked Girls prove that beauty is as beauty does at Naked Girls Reading BEAUTIES AND BEASTS!


at Under St. Marks - 94 St. Marks Place, NYC

Soliloquies will be stripped to, familiar scenes will escalate to new, naked, heights and the bard’s most beloved characters will strut and fret their way into your heart, mind, and chief reproductive organ. Also, swords. There will be swords.

Starring Nasty Canasta, Rita Menweep, Schaffer the Darklord, Peter Aguero, Miss Mary Cyn and Iris Explosion. With star crossed stage kittens Cherry Pitz and Handsome Brad Lawrence and saucy swordsmen Scot Ferra and Michael Villiastrigo
