It’s July 3, 1956 and the jockettes of WHER, America’s first "all-girl" radio station in Memphis, Tennessee, are having one heck of a day: the copywriter has run off to elope, they have just found out that the Elvis Presley is coming to the station to be interviewed on-air and their star DJ Bettye has shown up… in pants! When Elvis’s record promoter arrives and is none other than Bettye’s former flame Benjamin, sarcastic zingers fly, sisterhoods are forged, and secrets are exposed.
Approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Workshop Reading
SNAKE QUEEN & OTHER ODDITIES
by Christie Perfetti Williams
Saturday, July 12th, 1 pm, NYC
​
Free but limited tickets available here!
​
Three friends in the throes of middle-life transitions flip a strip club into a theater and attract carnies from a bless-ed dimension.
​
Described as “Godspell meets Field of Dreams at a strip club on Coney Island,” the piece is a joyfully bold exploration of humanness and holiness. And the carnival in between.
This is a staged workshop reading presented by Carnival Girls Productions, celebrating 20 years of creating indie art by and about women.
