SUMMARY:The Real Housewives of The North Pole
DESCRIPTION:Hell in a Handbag’s season kicks off this winter with the world premiere of The Real Housewives of The North Pole. The North Pole is in trouble. Santa and all the North Pole power players are indicted for fraud and it’s up to the women to try and save their families from financial ruin. But how? Years of wealth and privilege have left them with a lot of designer clothes and jewelry\, but little else. \nLuckily\, Andy Cohen (David Lipschutz*) and the Bravo network swoop in to save the day with the perfect showcase for those with no talent or skills – reality television! Join Mrs. Ruth Claus (Honey West)\, Mrs. Frosty The Snowman (Robert Williams*)\, Suzy Snowflake (Britain Shutters)\, Clarice (Anna Rose Steinmeyer) and Gladys Dasher (David Cerda*)\, as they claw their way to instant fame. The show also features  Terry McCarthy*\, Taylor Owen Mercado\, and Kelly Opalko. \nDirected by Tommy Bullington

SUMMARY:Queen For A Day
DESCRIPTION:Runs through Sunday August 3rd\nHeavy is the head that wears the crown. Haughty is the homo that designs the gown. \nHell in a Handbag Productions is pleased to conclude its 2024/25 Season with the world premiere of QUEEN FOR A DAY written by ensemble member Tyler Anthony Smith and directed by Stephanie Shaw. \nAmerican fashion designer Roy Halston Frowick (Will Lidke)\, known to the world simply as Halston\, is down on his luck. He’s packing up his chic-as-hell Olympic Tower office for reasons he doesn’t want to discuss. To make matters worse\, Elizabeth I (Tyler Anthony Smith) is knocking on his door. Yes\, Elizabeth I\, whose reign as Queen of England spanned from 1558 to 1603. But it’s 1984 in New York City. All that time spent at Studio 54 might be starting to catch up to the King of Minimalism’s brain. \nElizabeth I demands that Roy (who hates being called that) make her a new gown to (she lets out a singular cough) die in. Oh\, and she needs it by the end of the day\, even though he seems to be in the midst of a breakdown. He takes her money and agrees\, and the unlikely pair moves forward with the design of a lifetime. That is until Halston has to help his best friend\, Liza Minnelli (Dakota Hughes)\, with her new act. Any questions? \nRun time is approximately 75 minutes\, no intermission. Late seating is not guaranteed and at the discretion of house management. \nThe Bramble Arts Loft is located on the second floor of Andersonville’s historic Capital Garage building. It is accessible via an elevator.
