Get your tickets now for the hottest show in town!

There are FOUR opportunities to see the show! Yes, you can go to your Christmas party at your office and *still* see a giant ballet-dancing sex toy. If that doesn't say *Happy Holidays" I don't know what else does!
Friday, December 12. 8pm.
Saturday, December 13. 8pm.
Sunday, December 14. 2pm AND 8pm.
The Sl*tcracker is a dance-theatre production comprised of a coalition of Boston-area performance artists including, but not limited to, burlesque and can-can dancers, drag kings, hoopers, ballerinas, acrobats, bellydancers, actors and actresses. Through a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Nutcracker, The Sl*tcracker aims to bring the art of burlesque back to its sexy, bawdy, hilarious roots.

The brainchild of director Vanessa White, a.k.a. “Sugar Dish,” creative director of the award-winning Babes in Boinkland burlesque troupe, and co-choreographed by members of All the Kings Men, Babes in Boinkland, Ballet Lolita, Thick, and CanCan Revolution, The Sl*tcracker is an unprecedented celebration of sexuality that promises to be unlike anything Boston has ever seen.

The Sl*tcracker is an original, over-the-top, “adults only” parody of E.T.A. Hoffman's classic holiday story, The Nutcracker. The story follows Clara, a virginal 20-something whose boyfriend Fritz becomes jealous of a special “toy” she receives for Christmas from an eccentric relative. Guided by a cast of new and intriguing friends, Clara embarks on a fantastic journey into her own sexual awakening that will leave the audience titillated, inspired, and amused.

REMEMBER: FOUR opportunities to see the show!!

On opening night, join the cast after the show for a night of DJs, dancing, and debauchery at the Davis Square Dilboy VFW sponsored by Dewars Whisky!

Tickets are available through the website: http://www.theslutcracker.com or through:

urban_faerie, i don't mean to come off as prude but i don't think your icon is appropriate for a neighborhood themed community even if said community is on the internet. it's quite off-putting.

I agree, it's probably not a rule here but I think icons used on communities like this should be work safe...

We do have a rule that says "Non-worksafe userpics are not allowed." You have 15 userpics, so let me suggest selecting a different one.

Edit: Thanks for changing the userpic.

The Somerville Theatre's website calls your show "The WHATcracker - a burlesque". What's up with that?

Also, there does not appear to be any way to buy tickets online.

I tried that. It took me to a page for buying tickets to today's movies, not to your show.

You have to change the date, using the "Date Selector" tool. It defaults to today.

Ahhh. That is ... a counter-intuitive user interface. A lot of folks won't realize they have to do it. My reaction was "Oops, this seems to be for movies and not for live shows."

I'm assuming they don't want "slut" on their website. Or "sl*t" for that matter.

"The WHAT?cracker" is actually a cleverer title.

but what about the children?

Considering the owner of the Somerville Theater hates kids and bans them from the theater, getting all prudish about the word "slut" seems rather curious.

Gosh, so don't care about this post = put it behind a cut....if you have to post it at all, which is debatable...

It announces an event at the Somerville Theatre, making it on-topic. It has an lj-cut. It now has a worksafe userpic. So I don't see any reason to object to the post.

(But I do suggest one thing to the OP: take out all but one of the blank lines after the dates, and also the blank lines at the end of the post.)

People post lots of advertisements here for events that take place in Davis Square. Not everyone will want to attend all of them.

Gosh, so don't care about this comment.

Pfft

Oh, because you personally don't care about a post, it has to go under a cut or not be posted at all. Gotcha.
