Slutcracker tickets are on sale!
This happens every year: people want to come to the show. For whatever reason, they're not planners, so they don't jump on tickets. So the time comes! It's the show they've chosen to attend! And they can't get tickets, because it's sold out. So they're calling us, trying to find a way in. And every year, they're disappointed, because we are sluts, not magicians, and we cannot make seats appear from thin air.
So believe us when we say, "Buy your tickets now."
Even though we're doing an additional weekend this year, tickets are going fast, and this baby WILL sell out. We want to see your beautiful faces in the audience, and we want you to see our beautiful...faces, too!
Get tickets here.

Slutcracker Profile: Lacy Gazelle
Describe your artistic life before/outside of The Slutcracker, this year's or last.
During college I was a fabulous slut with a radio show and an ironic cheerleading team and lots of jpegs, but after graduating, I thought I had to wise/grow up, for some reason. I stopped dying and spiking my hair. I threw out my black eyeliner. I was quick to label a lot of things as "trashy" and was really concerned with avoiding said trashy things. I tried to learn how to cook (healthily), I framed everything I put on a wall, I tried to go to bed early, I wanted to smell nice all of the time, I wanted whiter teeth, I wanted glossier hair, I went tanning (which for someone like me translates into "I went burning"). I wore a lot of J. Crew pastel skirts with matching cardigans. And for those three years, whenever I looked into a mirror I'd wonder "wait, so what am I missing?" I didn't look like myself. I didn't look like the striven-for perpetual magazine ad. I just looked . . . tired. And I felt caught up in a panic over all this work toward a life I was slowly realizing I didn't even want.
I credit stumbling into last year’s The Slutcracker with a lot. I feel like I was reluctantly inching down a certain path, with its certain self-righteous opinions about what it meant to be an adult, and educated, and female, and feminist, and professional, and what all of that looked like. And then this group was all “hey, want to join our club? We’re replacing all our zippers with velcro” and I was all “oh thank God yesyesyesyesyes!”
What is your favorite accessory/clothing item/sparkly thing to don?
I've gotten super into thigh-high socks, preferably striped. But for immediate transformation, a great wig can't be beat.
What do you do as a contributing member of society?
I'm a web manager. Charge me with your internets.
Best song to dance to, of all time:
Right now for me it's "5 Million Ways to Kill a CEO", by The Coup. But I also have a pretty good history with Le Tigre's "Deceptacon."
Stance on healthcare reform:
Maaan. I used to think all my problems would be solved once I got insurance.

Reviewed in The Herald
“The Slutcracker” is rough around the edges, but that’s part of its charm. It’s worth sitting through the awkward transitions and minor set gaffes for the performances that follow.- Jenna Scherer, The Boston Herald
And even though this isn’t a show for kids, it’s for pretty much everyone else. There are as many body types on display in “The Slutcracker” as there are snowflakes - and that makes Sugar Dish’s Christmas dish not only hilarious and dirty, but empowering and liberating. Dance on, you filthy sugar plums.

Slutcracker Profile: Jane Doe
What is your favorite accessory/clothing item/sparkly thing to don?
I'm definitely partial to off-the-shoulder tops, big earrings, and arm warmers.
What do you do as a contributing member of society, and how do you feel about said contribution?
I'm in marketing and PR - now if I could find a way to combine that will performing and get my bills paid, I would be a happy girl indeed.
If I wanted to get you drunk enough for . . . I don't know, the best thing you can think of, what would I order?
Tequila, for sure. The last time I seriously drank tequila was...let's just say that I ended up drinking from a sippy cup so I wouldn't spill any more of it. The last time I semi-seriously drank tequila, I wore my shirt as a hat.
Best song to dance to, of all time:
She Wants to Move by N.E.R.D. If it comes on anywhere, ever, I will
start dancing, and not stop until it's over.
Stance on healthcare reform:
Now, please!

Come to think of it … my vibrator’s broken. Can you even print that?
