| What's on at the Wild Project On Now: Now – August 18 SHEnanigans written and performed by Helena D. Lewis, directed by Rome Neal Part of The Wild Project’s Wild Culture Program Schedule: Thursday – Saturday at 7pm; Sunday at 3pm Tickets: $20 SHEnanigans, a comedic and sometimes heart-wrenching autobiographical one-woman play, unfolds after her mother’s unexpected death, as a devoted daughter struggles to adjust to her newfound matriarchal duties. SHEnanigans is an intimate, dramatic, and humorous look at love, family, and life from a “menopause baby,” who embraces her inherent dysfunction to care for her eccentric 82-year-old father and the affable family dog. August 13 Linda Simpson’s Slideshow Extravaganza! The Drag Explosion Schedule: Tuesday at 8pm Tickets: $10 Linda Simpson, a shining star of NYC’s drag scene for almost 30 years, is thrilled be back at The Wild Project with an encore presentation of her-storical slideshow The Drag Explosion All of the photos in The Drag Explosion were shot by Linda from the late 1980s to the mid ‘90s (back when it was rare to hobnob with a camera), and they reveal a golden age of NYC drag history. During this era the drag scene remarkably transformed from an underground art form into a pop-culture phenomenon. The photos capture wild nightlife, queer activism, and all sorts of colorful characters as they joyfully pushed the boundaries of gender expression. It’s an educational and entertaining her-story lesson! This new presentation comes as Linda is featured in the new HBO documentary, “Wig,” about the legendary drag festival Wigstock (which is also profiled in The Drag Explosion). August 14 Sean Hagerty, soundtracks and song: the music of Third Rail Projects Schedule: Wednesday at 8:00pm Tickets: $15 Violinist and multi-instrumentalist Sean Hagerty performs original soundtracks from his last 8 years with Third Rail Projects, including Then She Fell, The Grand Paradise, Midsummer A Banquet, and more.
