LIVE ARTS PRESENTS:
Dirty Barbie and Other Girlhood Tales
A One-Woman Show that Puts the "Fun" in Dysfunctional
Written & Performed by DeeDee Stewart
Back by popular demand, Dirty Barbie and Other Girlhood Tales returns to Live Arts for a four-day reprise of DeeDee Stewart's hilarious one-woman show. The final performance on Saturday, June 23rd will be an extravagant affair benefiting Dirty Barbie’s world premier at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August.
Crafted from Stewart’s blog posts about her childhood, Dirty Barbie is a whirlwind ride through small-town North Carolina in the 70s, 80s and 90s. With sleepover candor and a vintage soundtrack, Stewart tells tales of scarlet fever, scotch over ice and girls gone wild. A local wellness coach as well as a playwright, Stewart empowers women as her show redefines what it means to be an all-American girl.
Following Dirty Barbie’s sold-out run at Live Arts in November 2011, Stewart performed the hour-long piece in Washington DC and Salisbury, NC, with a New York debut planned for July. In August she'll bring Charlottesville arts overseas at the Festival Fringe in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her world premier will be funded by her last Charlottesville run, particularly the benefit on Saturday, June 23rd. In addition to a catered reception and all-night drinks, this extravaganza will include fifteen minutes of brand-new material as the local artist and do-gooder bids farewell to C'villefor now.
