PULP
by Patricia Kane
Music by Amy Warren & Andre Pluess
Lyrics by Patricia Kane
Co-producer: Sue Wilder
Costume sponsor: Richard Meyerson
Lights & Sound: Scott Bennett
Take a nostalgic trip back to vintage Hollywood featuring femme fatales radiating sexy style with sass in Island City Stage's PULP. Through wisecracks, classic deadpan deliveries and clever double-entendres set to a 1950s period score, PULP will take audiences on a provocative and enjoyable journey of self-discovery and acceptance.
Audiences will be visually immersed in The Well, a teeming-with-sex women’s bar, as they experience a heartfelt, comedic love letter to lesbian pulp fiction and the Barbara Stanwycks of the world.

Costumes: DC Allen & Ken Flick
Lights & Sound: Scott Bennett
Reeling from her ex-husband’s engagement to a much younger woman, Jodi Isaac turns to her famous fashion-designer dad for support. Instead, she finds him wrapped up in his West Village townhouse with Trey. Who’s twenty. And not necessarily gay. But probably an adult film star. At least, according to Jodi’s son. Who’s also twenty. And definitely gay. Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews, Significant Other) brings neurotic family drama to the forefront as father and daughter contend with the age-old questions of how to age gracefully in a world obsessed with youth and where love fits into it all.

Charles Busch welcomes Island City Stage to “Die, Mommie Die!”
August 29 – September 22, 2024
Die! Mommie Die!
by Charles Busch
Co-producer: The Warten Foundation
Charles Busch’s comic melodrama evokes the 1960s "Grande Dame Guignol" films that featured aging stars such as Bette Davis, Joan Crawford and Lana Turner. Ex-pop singer Angela Arden is trapped in a hateful marriage with film producer Sol Sussman. Desperate to find happiness with her younger lover, an out-of-work TV actor named Tony Parker, Angela murders her husband with the aid of a poisoned suppository. In a plot that reflects Greek tragedy as well as Hollywood kitsch, her children slip her some LSD, provoking a wild acid trip in which many secrets are revealed.
