About this Event

A cabaret in two acts, CLAYBOY is:

Raising the curtain and lowering its eyelids.
Sacred, monstrous, clinical, confessional.
The earnest young devil your mother warned you about.
Undeniably Gurlesque. Syntactically fabulous.
Like drowning in a brocade ballgown.
Intimate and uncanny.
Already in your hands, leaking glitter and pool water.
