TWEED TheaterWorks (EST 1983), Kevin Malony Artistic director, has been partnering with Pangea for the past three years to present a stellar performance series on Sundays (and some others days!) that combines the best of the "old school' and the "up & coming" musical, performance, and theater artists that NYC has to offer. www.tweedtheater.org
"After several years of hibernation, the downtown cabaret of new performance is emerging from its slumber for a one-night ravenous feast! NWNY founder Gardiner Comfort groggily staggers out of his cave with new material. After the success of his autobiographical solo show, THE ELEPHANT IN EVERY ROOM I ENTER, Comfort is back to the drawing board. Come see him and other NWNY regulars sharpen their theatrical claws and load up on springtime creative nutrients. For additional bear metaphors, come to the show."
Comfort will be joined by special guests, Amanda Duarte, Mike Albo and Mike Daisey.

"Comfort ... is a solo star who manages to rise above the limitations of the solo-show form by bringing in the world that helped to shape [him]." Hilton Als, The New Yorker.
"Comfort is a charming, versatile performer: He can dance, shift personas, inhabit multiple characters with dialects and physicality, and somehow exude a vulnerability wrapped in confidence." Teddy Nicholas, New York Theatre Review.
"Mr. Comfort is crisply coiffed, buffed and nude, his only accessories a dimple in his chin and a machine gun." Charles Isherwood, The New York Times. [Oh God, that one cracks me up!]
Amanda Duarte is a writer-performer. She hosts the monthly show Dead Darlings at Judson Memorial Church, co-stars with Becca Blackwell in the itinerant "It's That Time of the Month Show," and currently recaps RuPaul's Drag Race for the New York Times.
