‘Women Behind Bars’

“Women Behind Bars” is a darkly comedic play by Tom Eyen, a wilder, campy offering from the same writer who went on to pen “Dreamgirls.” A parody of 1950s prison exploitation films, “Women Behind Bars” debuted during the mid-1970s and was embraced by fringe culture after “Pink Flamingos” star Divine was cast in the role of The Matron.

In keeping with pedigree, the cast for The Montalban’s NC-17-rated production includes some incredible personalities, among them the notorious Traci Lords; John Waters’ muse, Mink Stole; RuPaul’s Drag Race star Eureka O’Hara as The Matron; drag legend Miss Coco Peru, local cabaret performer Poppy Fields; and adult film star Wesley Woods as The Man.

Tickets: $25-$120 / Showings: 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. / Dates run Jan. 25-Feb. 2 / More Information
