Live Taping of Naomi Grossman's AMERICAN WHORE STORY – Respect the Hustle
Thursday April 9th at 5:00 & 8:00 PM
The Emmy-nominated actress behind American Horror Story's most beloved character brings her award-winning solo tour de force to Revolution Stage Company for a very special live taping event. Naomi Grossman's American Whore Story – Respect the Hustle is a searingly honest, side-splitting chronicle of the decades she spent "whoring herself out" in Hollywood long before her overnight success as Pepper . Winner of the BroadwayWorld Award for Best Solo Production, this critically acclaimed one-woman show pulls back the curtain on the real meaning of the word "whore"—the hustler, the grafter, the one who will do whatever it takes . From driving a Red Bull van into a shopping mall to teaching inappropriate Spanish lessons, from a romance with a bipolar South American to a transformative acid trip at Burning Man, Grossman leaves no stone unturned . But at its heart, this is a love letter to the fans who catapulted her to #1 on IMDb and a testament to the resilience required to survive an industry that eats its young . Now, you have the rare opportunity to be part of history as we tape this performance for future audiences. Witness the raw, unfiltered, and wildly entertaining journey of a woman who finally learned to stop compromising—and found herself along the way . As Off-Broadway critics rave, "This is a one-of-a-kind performance from a one-of-a-kind person. Not to be missed" . Respect the hustle. Be in the room where it happens.
Billy L'Amour in A LITTLE L'AMOUR - Directed by Robert Johanson
Friday April 10th 7:00 PM
After a sold-out season of original theatrical productions in Palm Springs — including Christmas Mammaries, Witch Please!, her hit weekly residency Cabaret L’Amour at The Velvet Rope Hotel, and her recent turn as Fastrada in Pippin — internationally ignored showgirl Billy L’Amour returns to the stage with a newly directed version of her signature solo show, A Little L’Amour, directed by acclaimed theater artist Robert Johanson. Blending powerhouse live vocals, comedy, dance, and storytelling, A Little L’Amour is a heartfelt and hilarious cabaret experience that explores romance, resilience, and the pursuit of fabulousness through the eyes of a globe-trotting diva who’s loved deeply, lost spectacularly, and lived to sing about it. Featuring Broadway favorites, international classics, and Billy’s signature parody numbers, this theatrical evening opens and closes with the show’s titular anthem — reminding us that in a world that always asks for more… sometimes a little L’Amour is everything. Palm Springs audiences are invited to enjoy this special preview performance before the show heads to Los Angeles on April 18.
