Performances have been added for David Drake's My Tawny Valentine on February 23 and March 1 at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Written by Drake and directed by Robert LaFosse, the production also runs February 17 and 24 and March 2.
My Tawny Valentine tells the story of disco singer and one-hit wonder Tawny Heatherton, an eccentric showbiz survivor who recounts the disco zeitgeist of the early 1980s, her headline-grabbing turn as the “Pyro Girl of Long Island,” her stint as a “Hee-Haw Honey,” and her reunion with her long lost aunt, Joey Heatherton.
David Drake is best known for his off-Broadway solo show The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me. He has also appeared off-Broadway in Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and A Language of Their Own. Drake’s film credits include Philadelphia, It’s Pat and his own adaptation of The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me.
