PFP makes Lard Not War
Pork Filled Players (PFP), the Northwest’s longest running Asian American sketch comedy group, gets sensual this winter with a volatile mix of sketch comedy, love and relationships. In the Mood for Lard: bacon’ whoopie and other participatory sports plays at 8 pm Fridays and Saturdays, from February 4 to 26, as the Cabaret Space of the Northwest Actors’ Studio (1100 East Pike St., Seattle WA) becomes a love shack for the swine and sows of seduction. .
This season PFP ponders the secrets of female arousal, fantasy male exotic dancers, slutty fairy godmothers, and a mafia that provides ‘protection’ to gay couples.
In the Mood for Lard plays at 8:00pm every Friday and Saturday from February 4th to the 26th. Tickets are $12 general, $9 students/groups/couples in love. For more information about the show go to http://www.porkfilled.com/ or email pr@porkfilled.com. For tickets go to http://www.ticketwindowonline.om/ or call (206) 325-6500.
Emmy Waker joins PFP veterans Dixi Lee (of Sex in Seattle fame), Mok Moser and Yvette Zaepfel. Together they join co-founder/executive producer/writer Roger Tang, producer/writer/actor Ed Tonai, director Linda Lombardi and assistant director Tony Colinares.
This is PFP’s 15th show. Their last show Red, Pork and Blue drew rave reviews from Seattle Gay News and the Seattle PI and earned them a spot in Seattle’s largest arts festival-Bumbershoot- where they performed for a packed Centerhouse audience.
The Pork Filled Players is Seattle’s close approximation of an Asian American comedy group, devoted to promoting the art of sketch comedy through thought provoking original material, making it accessible to diverse audiences. Using our own original madcap (though not necessarily zany) material, the Players aim pointed barbs at sacred cows, the bees knees, the cat’s meow and other non-porcine material. Using humor (hopefully funny) and song (hopefully on-key), PFP has their own take on modern life through their sketches. More information at http://www.porkfilled.com/.
