Showtime: 9pm - August 7th - September 6th Fridays and Saturdays

The surprise hit of last summer, "2 Boys in a Bed on a Cold Winter's Night" returns to Provincetown's Art House Theater this month for nine performances only! Fresh from the show's sold-out run in the ABSOLUT Dublin Gay Theatre Festival this spring, "2 Boys in a Bed..." received a rave review from chief drama critic Peter Crawley in The Irish Times: "Intelligent, moving and superbly performed, James Edwin Parker's play is in the tradition of Terrence McNally, tracing the obstacles to communication, intimacy and love in 1980s Manhattan, sensitively realized by director David Drake. Sex may sell, but [actors] Scott Douglas Cunningham and Spencer Keasey prove that honesty lingers much longer." Indeed, that bare naked truth begins again in P'town this summer for a limited engagement on June 5th.

Kinsey Sicks »

For over 15 years, The Kinsey Sicks, America's Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet, have served up a feast of music and comedy to audiences across the United States and internationally. Combining award-winning a cappella singing, sharp satire and over-the-top drag, The Kinsey Sicks have developed a large and loyal following. The Kinsey Sicks began in 1993 as a group of friends who went to a Bette Midler concert in San Francisco dressed as the Andrews Sisters. Assuming they'd be among many drag queens, they found themselves to be the only ones (other than Bette, of course). They were approached that night to perform at an upcoming event. Their reply — "we don't sing" — was quickly disproved when they realized that all of them had musical backgrounds. They began singing and harmonizing that night, and the seed for The Kinsey Sicks was planted.
