Peep Show: Carol Queen's Solo Piece about the Lusty Lady

Thu, Aug 4 - Fri, Aug 5
8 pm, doors at 7
$10-20 sliding scale, $5 off for LL staff past and present

Carol Queen performs her solo spoken word evening, Peep Show!
Half the proceeds will go to CSC; $10--20 sliding scale, $5 off for
students, CSC members, and Lusty Lady staff past and present.

Go backstage at the pre-union Lusty Lady Theatre! Carol, an
early-'90s alumna of the Lusty, takes her audience backstage for an
intimate introduction to the secrets of the peep show. Meet her
colleagues, with their over-the-top femme personae; the customers,
from whom Carol learned her mother was wrong when she said that "men
only want one thing"; and the theatre itself, where every windowed
booth serves as a sort of erotic confessional. Queen (a.k.a. Minx
Manx) was definitely one Live Nude Girl who loved her job, partly
because she - a sexology grad student at the time - learned from it
how amazingly diverse sex really is. The show lasts about two hours
and is all extemporaneously told. Expect a funny, surprising, moving
visit behind the locked doors of the Private Pleasures Booth.

Tickets can be reserved by calling (415) 255-1155 or emailing
Cash and checks will be accepted at the door.
Prepaid tickets are available via Paypal at CSC's website,
www.sexandculture.org. (Please add $2 for handling when using the
Paypal option, and email CSC with your contact information and how
many tickets you wish to purchase.)

Carol Queen has performed "Peep Show" all over the US and Canada, but
only once before in its entirety in San Francisco. In 2003 she took
an excerpt of the longer piece through the southwest with the Sex
Workers' Art Show Tour, and she has performed the show in Toronto,
Boston, Seattle, Minneapolis, and elsewhere. On August 4 and 5 she'll
be backed by the video stylings of the creative Vann Hall, who
accompanied her in May when she performed the Bay Area premiere of
"Peep Show" at the Roxie as part of the Sex Workers' Art and Video
Festival. For more about Carol Queen and her work check out
