As he twisted his mouth into a photogenic smile/snear, Charles Busch incorporated a naturalistic Jimmy Shtewart lisp into his beautiful succubus monologue. During that moment from his Vampire Lesbians of Sodom exerpt he created indelible theatre! His hosting of the emerging playwrights beneft on September 10th at Theatre for the New City was a return to the stage for him following open heart surgery and he is back with a vengeance, thank heavens!

Theatre for the New City presented a glittering evening to benefit TNC's Emerging Playwrights, which they called 2001: A Downtown Stage Oddity, hosted by Charles Busch. I've posted my pictures from the evening at http://www.cinemavii.com/gallery.htm.
