Synopsis: | This is from the press release: "In The Jackie Look, Karen Finley brings icon Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis back to life in this unique look at history, style, trauma, femininity and the demands of being the First Lady. Using the structure of a lecture set in the present day, Jackie, one of the most photographed women of her day, contemplates her life in pictures. Jackie also makes use of YouTube and views online homages to her and her family. Along the way Jackie ruminates on Michelle Obama, Marilyn Monroe, Caroline's run for Senate, the art world, Michael Jackson, and the lasting impact of that fateful day on the grassy knoll in Dallas." | |||||

Synopsis: | Described as a "cabaret-driven, lounge-style act," the cast includes Finley, drag performer Chris Tanner, pianist Lance Cruce, and a rotating roster of Liza Minnelli impersonators. The following description is from the press release: "In Make Love, Finley channels Liza Minnelli in song, dance, glamour, and glitter. Liza's tragicomic life is the backdrop as one New Yorker grasps to make sense of post-9/11 America. The 'Divaness' of Liza as an icon and symbol of New York becomes the place to throw pathos, hilarity, mockery, and taboos. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Wake Up! is an evening of two thematically related companion pieces. The first half is 'The Dreams of Laura Bush', an illustrated dream journal of America's First Lady. Mrs. Bush's dreams alternate between the profound and the mundane and feature a cast of international celebs and politicians. Drawings (also by Finley) are projected as a backdrop as the dreams unfold. The 2nd half is 'The Passion of Terri Schiavo'. Here, a live action ink painting becomes the abstracted soul projection of a culture obsessed with one woman's right to die yet at the same time at war. In this work, an oppositional narrative gives voice to both pro and con, family, stranger and society at large | |||||
