KNIT WHILE YOU WATCH A PLAY!!!My...KNITTERS WELCOME! KNIT WHILE YOU WATCH A PLAY!!!<BR/><BR/>My name is Lana Lesley and I'm with Rude Mechs, a local theatre company located at The Off Center. <BR/><BR/>I'm writing to let you know about a very special artist we are presenting in our festival, Throws Like A Girl. This weekend (thursday through saturday at 8pm) we are presenting performance artist Kristina Wong in her show titled "Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".<BR/><BR/>Kristina has asked us to be sure all the knitters in Austin are aware of her show as she invites them all to come and knit during the performance. You can find out more about tickets for the show at www.rudemechs.com. If you are interested in bringing a group of 5 or more, please let me know as we can arrange a special ticket price of $10/ticket.<BR/><BR/>Here is a description of her show:<BR/><BR/>Incisive writer and performer Kristina Wong mixes sharp humor and psychology in Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, a swear-to-god-not-autobiographical, serio-comic portrayal of the high incidence of anxiety, depression and mental illness among Asian American women. Tangling, spinning, and mixing yarns, she asks: Which came first? The sky-high suicides of Asian American women? The maddening world? And when the heck do we get to climax? Wong’s irreverent and provocative work has given her a national cult following for “politically charged art with unapologetic humor." –Bitch Magazine.<BR/><BR/>Knitters, cuckoo and not, are invited to knit in the audience during the show (flash your sticks and hooks!).<BR/><BR/>"One woman show keeps the laughs coming as it tackles issue of depression." - Philadelphia MetroAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
