10:00 PM . Lucy Sexton + Annie Iobst + Scott Heron, Prodigal Heroes

LUCY SEXTON, The Factress
The Factress, aka Lucy Sexton began life as the host of The Lucy Show, a live talk show and performance revue that occurred randomly in NY during the late 90s and early 00s. The show was co-hosted by Nurse Baby Asparagus, aka Mike Iveson. The Factress is part stand up, part performance artist, all seriocomic psychopolitical commentator. She has taken her brand of avant-humor to Performance Space 122, LaMama, The Howl Festival, Brisol Old Vic (UK), and the Salzburg Festival (AUSTRIA).

ANNE IOBST, The Naked Lady 
Anne Iobst has been performing as The Naked Lady since 2002, appearing most notably in The Lucy Show, and most recently Yvonne’s Meier’s The Shining. With Lucy Sexton, Iobst created the Bessie Award-winning dance performance group DANCENOISE in 1983, which performed in New York and around the world and hosted a weekly performance series at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut.

SCOTT HERON, Lights Up A Tragedy New York Premiere
A regular of the 80’s NYC East Village scene, Scott Heron brings a new solo to the American Realness stage. Wading into the waters of willing self-embarrassment with a Shirley Temple drive to please, Lights up a tragedy finds Heron thwarted by the limitations of his cranky body. He embodies the dancer while reveling in sheer joyful abandon to camouflage fake sadness. Rigorously anti-conceptual, Heron asks the audience to support him fully as he gives his everything. How high can that spandex creep up his tiny ass?
