Dutch Masters @ Strangelove’s
AMH productions

Manhattan, 1992: Two young men from opposite sides of the poverty line share a chance encounter in an empty subway car. What starts off as a tenuous relationship, quickly becomes something altogether much more difficult to compass. This play weaves a thrilling mystery into a frank discussion about personal prejudice. Click here for tickets and more info!

Nip @ Tattooed Mom

Amanda Holston & Noemi Charlotte Thieves

Blonde Mona, a feminist burlesque dancer with a killing streak, embarks on her farewell tour across Canada, leaving a trail of dead girls in her wake. Banking on good company and an even better alibi, she enlists her childhood best friend as the driver and ends up with a teen tag-a-long coming of age in the backseat. A macabre look at the hypocrisies of contemporary womanhood, Nip asks us who’s really sucking on who? Click here for tickets and more info!
