Free to Be Friends!

You're getting caps AND an exclamation point because Free to Be Friends is (are?) so freaking hilarious. I saw them at The Beauty Queens of Comedy and was totally blown away. "Pancakes, Pancakes Vietnam" is pretty awesome. I'm totally going to this, just not sure which time yet.

BETTY AND JOAN ARE BACK!
Tickets on sale NOW @ http://fringenyc.org

Fresh from a 7-month hit run at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, Free To Be Friends heads downtown, as an official selection of the NY International Fringe Festival.

In the tradition of Free To Be...You and Me &The Magic Garden, Friendly Feminists (Lesbians) Betty and Joan are here to teach you some lessons and sing you some songs. Their 1972 children's show, Free To Be Friends, is back, and now's your opportunity to (finally!) watch two life partners in comfortable shoes and wide-leg pants guide children through an array of confusing topics, transparently attempting to cloak their radical left-wing politics with a veneer of feel-good 70’s cheer…all of which just adds up to confusion, and then, terrible violence.

This show also stars an owl puppet.

Featuring new original songs, including:
Boys & Girls Are Different In The Pants
Pancakes, Pancakes Vietnam
It's Okay To Rage
It's Great To Be A Lesbian in 1972

and more....

Written by and Starring
Julie Klausner & Sue Galloway
Directed by Dyna Moe
Featuring Neil W. Casey & John Gemberling
