Pride Film & Plays Extends BITE: A Pucking Queer Cabaret to August 26
Pride Films & Plays is excited to announce a two-week, four performance extension of their hot summer hit, BITE: A Pucking Queer Cabaret. Following popular demand and critical acclaim, the fairy magic will continue at Mary’s Attic with additional 7 PM performances on the following dates:Thurs, Aug 18; Fri, Aug 19; Thurs, Aug 25; and Fri, Aug 26. Tickets are now available for the additional performances.
As Puck and the other fairies at Mary’s prepare for a celebration, their world is rocked by news of a break-up between their King and Queen. When four mortals wander up the stairs, they get caught in a web of drinking and deception, as they become pawns in a magical game of love, 400 years in the making. Mary’s Attic will be filled with music, dance, and fairies of all kinds, as BITE retells one of the Bard’s beloved love stories through a queer lens.
The cast features PFP ensemble members Carmen Molina and Kevin Webb, as well as Caitlin Aase, Jeff Bouthiette, Raymond K. Cleveland, Nathan Cooper, Jacob McKenzie Gilchrist, Kathleen Hoil, Will Kazda, Jennifer Ledesma, David Mor, Jordan Shomer, Melanie Vitaterna.
