Joe’s Pub in NYC will present “Assorted Fruit” a new monthly queer variety show from the people that brought you The Meeting on Sunday, February 20th at 9:30P hosted Justin Elizabeth Syre. This all-queer, all-fun night of the best in LGBTQ talent from across New York & all over the world offering lots of new faces & some of your favorites. Join Justin & Dusty Childers the show’s fabulous director on a journey into the weird & wonderful world of “Assorted Fruit.” Special guests for February will include Jon-Michael Reese & Charlene Incarnate. Sayre stated, “I wanted to try something new & adventurous. This show lets me break out of the mold & explore more voices & point of views. I still think queer people are making the best art out there & I wanted to create a forum to work with & showcase gay creators of all stripes. In my own funny way, I’ve always loved gay slurs. They’re mostly so silly, but my favorite has always been a fruit. What’s so queer about fruit? Well, it’s vital & packed with goodness. I think fruit could be the new way to name the queer community. I’m a fruit. Are you a fruit too?” Along with “Assorted Fruit” Sayre continues a busy season of projects. Their new solo work To Build a Soul debuted at New York’s La MaMa Theatre continues in May & in June the 10th annual presentation of the “Night of a Thousand Judys” Pride concert to benefit The Ali Forney Center. Also a new piece will be performed at the Edinburgh International Festival later this year. The second “Assorted Fruit” at Joe’s Pub is Sunday March 13th at 9:30P. For More Info & Tix…
