Obie Award-winning playwright/performer David Drake (The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me) makes his long-awaited return to New York with the premiere of MY TAWNY VALENTINE. Written by and starring Drake, this drag tragicomedy with music is directed by David Briggs (film: Karen Black Like Me) featuring musical direction by Lance Cruce (Joan Rivers’ longtime pianist, Karen Finley’s Make Love).

Performances begin February 17th at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.

MY TAWNY VALENTINE marks the unheralded return of Tawny Heatherton, a lovably eccentric showbiz survivor and “one hit wonder” of the disco zeitgeist of the early 1980s. Tawny brings her singular blonde-swept brand of sunny, funny optimism while recalling stories of wandering the globe performing her disco “hit,” her headline-grabbing turn as the unwitting “Pyro Girl of Long Island,” her short-lived stint as a “Hee-Haw Honey,” and reuniting with her long-lost aunt Joey Heatherton at the Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino.

DAVID DRAKE is an actor-writer-director best-known as the Obie Award-winning playwright/performer of The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me, one of the longest-running solo shows in Off-Broadway history. David also starred in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom (succeeding Charles Busch for 856 performances), originated the role of “Miss Deep South” in the hit Pageant, as well as co-starring with Jim J. Bullock in End of the World Party at the 47th St. Theater, and with B.D. Wong in A Language of Their Own at The Public.  His TV credits: Law & Order, The Beat, NY Undercover. Feature films: Jonathan Demme’s Philadelphia, as well as It’s Pat, Naked in New York, David Searching, Bear City, Longtime Companion, and his own adaptation of The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me. As a stage director, David has twice been a Directing Fellow at the Sundance Theater Lab, and has directed new works at The Public’s Under the Radar Festival, Joe’s Pub, and Rattlestick, among others.  Most recently in New York, David was a director of the 2009 world premiere of Taylor Mac’s The Lily’s Revenge, which made the “10 Best Lists” in The New Yorker, The NY Post, The Advocate, Paper Magazine, and won a 2010 Village Voice Obie Award.

MY TAWNY VALENTINE runs Feb. 17, 24, & March 2 at 7:30pm.

The Laurie Beechman Theater is located inside West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42nd Street — at Ninth Avenue, accessible from the A,C,E,N,R,V,F,1,2 & 3 trains at 42nd Street).

______________________________________________________

Ok: Ms Bachmann
I was suppose to go to Anoka high-school.
The Nelson Clan lived in the middle of nowhere
You know that place.
It is between the boon-dogs & soybean fields for as far as the eye can see, w/ a hint of cow manure floating thru the air.
Barn cats, gophers (Minnesota), bears (I never saw one), apple pie (It is early as I write you, and my sweet tooth is screaming)

We happen to live on the opposite side of the hiway; so we (the country kids) were shipped 20 miles away (segregation) to an elementary school in Brooklyn Park, MN
We left in the dark (an hour + bus ride) & returned in the dark (same bus ride) from October til mid-March.
The majority of kids @ Edgewood Elementary were town kidz.
They had Little League, Ice Hockey Teams, paved roads to ride their banana seat bikes.
We had cows, dirt paths & 4-H (Head, Heart, Hands, Health (pledged by members of 4-H Clubs)
My 4-H Club consisted of all girls & me.
Shut-up!
Yes; basically ALL girls
We had County & State Fairs
I have the Blue & even Purple (outstanding achievement) ribbons still.
4-H was to build our character.
I believe it was an excuse to get rid of the kids for a few hours a week & @ various times: 4-H Camp
We wore hand-me-downs & JC Penney plain pockets & Sears Tuff Skins
The town kids wore Levi & Lee Jeans
Where was Lady Gaga?!
Could have used a bit of Born This Way; instead of trying to be part of the clique ~ which as you know the harder you try to belong; the more resistant the popular kids keep you out.

Take note: Plastics of the Gay community: Our eyes on you

Michelle Bachmann, a cheerleader that did not show up for all the practices went to Anoka High School
she was also on the Debate Team (to be fair)
Anoka Team’s were called the Tornadoes
As a tornado struck the area on June 19, 1939
Odd: The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939
Anyway, it seemed an odd name
I always can tie in Dorothy!

Speaking of Ms Gale: I went to Osseo High School & we called the Orioles
At football games (I did not play: are you crazy? Give the bullies an opportunity to smear this queer?!)
Opposing schools would bring Nabisco Oreo Cookies & pelt our players & sadly @ times: The cheerleaders.

Osseo, Anoka: American Indian names

Do I feel an affinity to Michelle because we are from the same area? Hell NO!
I do not care how many foster kids she raised.
She got paid per head.
She also hails from my home country, which just TODAY got their government back up & running.
Michelle: You were part of the problem that got that state in the sad affairs they got in; as a State Representative.

How is it, that people hold others accountable for financial disasters that they inherit?
And expect that things are just going to magically turn around.
Patience

Yes, I got political ~ I pay taxes
And observing & not sharing my thoughts is not my style.
No hate mail, please
We are all entitled to our views

And this heat has me sweating in places that I am sure are not suppose to be moist.

Off to Asbury Park for the weekend!
Love the feeling of red-hot sand burning the bottoms of my tender soles.

If you get to Fire Island; please attend Dancing on the Bay.
Guy & Erin have been sweating it out, setting lights & sound
Randy Bettis will be spinning his magic (fresh from the F Word)
