Bedbugs!!! It’s A Musical
Arclight Theatre
$69 and $49 with NYSW card (normally $89 and $69) Discount code: BiteNYSW
“In this girl-meets-bug sci-fi-rock-musical-comedy, Carly, an exterminator, is hell-bent on avenging her mother’s bedbug related death. In an effort to permanently rid the city of its infestation, she accidentally mutates the pests into blood-sucking, heavy metal rock gods. Bedbugs!!! is an original musical that the NY Times called, “…a little bit “Little Shop of Horrors” and a little bit “Rocky Horror Show,” but even more over the top.” This “*improbably entertaining” and “**wonderfully outrageous and inventive” musical is a blitz of 80’s nostalgia and a creepy-crawly love affair of massive proportions.

Black Girl Nerds (live podcast)
Galapagos Art Space
$10
Black Girl Nerds is an online community solely devoted to promoting nerdiness among women of color. The online community consists of a website, podcast, and active social media engagement that allows several blerds (black nerds) to connect, network, and foster relationships. The community is not exclusive to Black women and welcome all nerds to be a part of our community. The term was coined because many websites do not feature geek girls of color, so BGN is an imprint in cyberspace to illustrate that Black women are just as nerdy as everyone else!

Janeane Garofalo:
Actress and Comedian Janeane Garofalo has been an American institution since she burst on the scene in 1992.
In addition to acting in film and television, Janeane is an outspoken activist, spoken word performer and stand-up comedy entertainer known and respected around the country, and the world. As well, she was instrumental in the successful launching of the first liberal radio network, Air America Radio, where she hosted her own talk show, “”The Majority Report.”” A lightning rod for controversy, Janeane’s well informed opinions and unflinching honesty have inspired laughs, as well as striking a chord with the left, right and everyone in between. She is a noted peace activist.
Janeane has had many memorable and critically acclaimed roles in films such as “”The Truth About Cats and Dogs,”” “”Steal This Movie,”” “”Copland,”” “”Reality Bites,”” and “”Duane Hopwood,”” as well as for her specific brand of sharp wit and comedy shown in her roles in “”Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion,”” “”Bye Bye Love,”” “”Mystery Men,”” “”Clay Pigeons,”” “”The Minus Man”” and “”The Cable Guy,”” directed by her friend Ben Stiller. Ben and Janeane also co-authored the best seller “”Feel This Book,”” (Ballantine May 1999). Janeane was also a cast member of the Emmy Award-winning Ben Stiller Show.
Janeane played the role of Paula, the acerbic talent booker, on “”The Larry Sanders Show,”” for which she received an Emmy nomination in 1997 and two Cable Ace nominations. During the fall of ’94 she joined the cast of “”Saturday Night Live.”” Some of Janeane’s other television work includes two specials for HBO, the series finale of “”Mad About You”” and the critically lauded, final season of NBC’s “”The West Wing,”” where she played Democratic campaign strategist Louise Thornton.
In 2007, Janeane’s voice was featured in the Disney/Pixar animated comedy Ratatouille, and can be seen in Stella writer/director David Wain’s ensemble comedy, “”The Ten.”” Janeane can also be seen in her latest projects, the Lifetime movie “”Girl’s Best Friend”” and as a recurring character on the 2009 season of “”24.””
Dan Soder: Originally from Aurora, CO, Dan Soder started doing stand up at 21 while attending the University of Arizona. After two years of playing clubs and casinos all over the southwest, Dan decided he’d had enough of extreme heat and venomous animals so he moved to New York to get serious about stand-up. When he’s not napping or being lazy you can see Dan perform at clubs all over the city. You can also see Dan on this upcoming season of “”Live at Gotham.”” He hopes to not shame his family or friends — he also hopes he gets more time to nap now that he’s been on TV.

Taxidermy: From Collecting to Making
Museum of Morbid Anatomy
$5
“The impulse to create can come from many sources: from an art study, a desire to see something unique, or a response to maintaining a collection that needs constant repair. Taxidermy is one such collection.
Taxidermy study has not been as easily available since the mid Victorian Era, when collections flourished and craftsmen learned to preserve animals to fill a huge demand. Today, in the Digital Age, the desire to acquire what Walter Benjamin called “the aura of one” and the return to handwork have encouraged people, who once were collectors, to start making their own collections.
In connection with Taxidermy Art, this talk will address the rise of Rogue Taxidermy through the lens of Collecting.
Robert Marbury is a multi-disciplinary artist working in fabric, photography, and fur. He is a co-founder of the Minnesota Association of Rogue Taxidermists, lectures internationally about rogue taxidermy and judges the annual Carnivorous Night’s Taxidermy Contest, which is the largest alternative taxidermy contest in the world.
Robert lives and works in Baltimore, MD. “”Taxidermy Art: A Rogue’s Guide to the Work, the Culture, and How to Do It Yourself”” is Robert’s first book.”
