Playwright and entertainer Ryan Landry returns for another season at the Crown & Anchor with the ever-popular Showgirls and an encore presentation ofThe Gulls.
A Provincetown staple on Monday Nights, Showgirls is hosted by Ryan and offers a $500 prize for the winning act. Local entertainers, guest stars and anyone wishing to compete for the top prize perform. Slam poetry, dancers, traditional drag or amazing singers make this weekly event like American Idol with a John Waters' twist. With a different line-up every week, there is no telling what can happen at Showgirls!
Spoiled rich girl Melanie Daniels walked into a bird shop looking for love. What she found was "The Gulls." Award winning Playwrite Ryan Landry ("Whizzin'", "Phantom of the Oprah") brings back his biggest hit to date, "The Gulls." Based on Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece, "The Birds", "The Gulls" is based in Provincetown itself and that in itself is a vehicle for laughs. "The Gulls" playfully explores the corrupt politics of small town gentrification (while mixing it with enviornmental ignorance) to surprisingly hilarious effect. Past Gold Dust Orphan productions at The Crown & Anchor have included Cleopatra, Golden Squirrels, Cinderella Rocks, The Septic Wives, The Gulls and Carrie.
