SheNYC Arts: Pouf!

You saw this play digitally in our 2020 Summer Theater Festival -- but this summer, it hits the live stage! Join us at the Connelly Theater for one in-person performance. We may add the option to watch the show virtually in the coming weeks for those who are not ready to come back into a theater yet. Sign up for our mailing list or follow us on social media to get the latest updates.

About Pouf!: What happens when you mix hairspray, headlice and a little dab of Elvis? Hairlarity. The year is 1958 and Betty finds herself unfulfilled as a housewife. She and her husband have been unsuccessful in starting a family and her husband will not "permit" her to get a job. With the encouragement of her sister, Betty secretly sets up an in-home salon, leveraging her prowess with hairspray and bobby pins. Betty begins to change the lives of neighborhood women by "poufing" their hair. Pouf! is an “uplifting” comedy with big hair and even bigger laughs.

In order to be admitted entry into the theater, all patrons MUST show proof of full vaccination, with the final dose completed 14 days in advance of the performance date. Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in NYC and the rise of Delta variant cases, we are no longer accepting just a negative COVID test.

Patrons will also be asked to wear masks during the performance. These measures are non-negotiable and are implemented for the safety of our staff and performers.

At check out, there is an option to add an additional donation. Note that if you want to see the show, you must purchase a General Admission Ticket -- the donation option is for those who would like to leave an additional donation on top of that, to support our programming!
