My Time with the Lady
Had an Erotic Life, 1977-2010!
Life and death of iconic Seattle peepshow recounted in new play
My Time with the Lady
The life and times of The Lusty Lady Peepshow are recounted through the eyes of a young man who worked there in My Time With the Lady, the world premiere of a new autobiographical play by Ron Richardson and John Longenbaugh.
From 1987 to 1992, Richardson worked on and off as a cashier, janitor, doorman, and occasional bouncer at Seattle's Lusty Lady peepshow. It was the dream job for a young man from Walla Walla, who received the education of a lifetime as he became familiar with the inner workings of an adult establishment and the array of characters who worked on its stages and behind the scenes. During those years Richardson watched the Lady change as First Avenue evolved from a seedy waterfront district known as "Flesh Avenue" into an upscale yuppie stretch of condos, restaurants and large art institutions.
Richardson blends comedy, pathos and business analysis in a series of stories that explore the sometimes seamy but always fascinating world of The Lusty Lady, creating a portrait as brash, lively and unusual as the Lady's infamous marquee.
Co-written and directed by former Seattle Weekly Theatre Writer John Longenbaugh (Scotch and Donuts, The Man Who Was Thursday, How to be Cool, Arcana) and also starring Kirsten Lauzon, My Time with the Lady is a valentine to a true Seattle original, a peep show where the dancers worked cooperatively, where the original owner never stopped innovating, and where a young man found himself in love with not only a whole complement of dancers, but with the institution that provided their paycheck.
