See Melody Jane at Pangea This Saturday!

I VERY much look forward to seeing “The Violet Hour” Melody Jane‘s , Pangea debut this Saturday at 7pm, and I hope you will see it too! You may remember Melody Jane as “Beauty” in our production of I’ll Say She Is, as part of the ensemble in Julie Atlas Muz & Mat Fraser‘s Jack and the Beanstalk panto at Henry Street, and in her many burlesque performances around town. She’s talented, winning and edgy, and we know she’ll knock our holiday socks off. Have no fear; tickets are here
