Cherdonna & The Bearded Ladies

Threesome | April 18 - 20, 25 - 27 at Repair Revolution

Starring Cherdonna Shinatra, Martha Graham Cracker, and Jarbeaux, Threesome uses pleasure, punk rock, and spectacle to seduce and challenge audiences.

Cherdonna is back, and this time, she’s bringing friends!

Starring Seattle’s legendary Cherdonna Shinatra and Philadelphia’s drag luminaries Jarbeaux and Martha Graham Cracker, Threesome is an evening of solo drag/dance/cabaret artists searching for stability within a universe of uncertainty. Geared up with all the tools they could find in an active auto body shop, this stellar trio cranks out an evening full of pleasure, punk rock, and spectacle, not to mention devastating torch songs, whispered side conversations, indulgent cry-gasms, and tiny monkey wrenches...

If this volatile world makes you feel like you’re running on fumes, it’s time for a tune-up. So come on down to Repair Revolution and let the Threesome crew fix you up with truckloads of marvel and laughter at the inner workings of humanness.

Don't bring one date to this show, bring two! We are all in need of a little repair.
