AMBER MARTIN IN BATHHOUSE BETTE

After 2 sold-out performances this year at Joe’s Pub in NYC, Amber Martin brings to TX her hilarious, loving tribute to early, bathhouse-era Bette Midler… in Bathhouse Bette.

Everything about Amber Martin and her performance came across as Bette-like, but with her ballsy personal sense of freedom setting her tribute on fire in ways that were all her own. – Broadway World

This performance focuses on the early 70’s, when a 26 year-old, hungry, as-yet-unknown starlet, Bette Midler, got her chops as the resident firecracker chanteuse singing at the legendary Continental Baths uptown (now a parking lot under The Ansonia). She earned her “camp” honors in the hot & steamy bathhouse, singing to men in towels, still wet from the pool and other dark spaces. Her also as-yet-unknown house accompanist was none other than Barry Manilow (Drew Brody in this show). As per the fashion of bawdy Bette… copious amounts of singing, stories and dancing ensue! Amber will be performing live with her very own “Barry” from NYC… MD/Pianist Drew Brody!

DOUBLE EDGE THEATRE’S SUGA
when: March 4 – 6 at 7:00 p.m.
where: Crashbox, 5305 Bolm Rd #12
tickets: $30 general admission

Presented by Jason Phelps & Co. and Double Edge Theatre. Presented by Rude Mechs as part of our Rude Fusion series.

SUGA is conceived, and performed by Travis Coe and directed by Stacy Klein. An investigation of freedom, and the bounds—personal, artistic, societal, and political—one must break through to achieve that end. As a caretaker of a museum of memory, Coe touches/reveals/remixes all the aspects of himself—as Queer, Afro- Caribean/Latinx, and American, to find the path to sing, fly, run – toward Freedom.

Travis Coe is an Ensemble Member and a leader of Art Justice at Double Edge Theatre (DE) and the Co-Founder of Round Room Image. While at DE, Coe’s creative process has changed significantly in conversation with Founder/Artistic Director Stacy Klein and the Ensemble to include rigorous and imaginative physical training in the research and creation of his artistic work. While grappling with issues of personal identity and historic representation, Coe takes dreams, memories and histories and creates a catalogue of performed and cinematic artworks to awaken communities to new possibilities of seeking courage and freedom.
