In a co-production with The Tank, Midnight Coleslaw’s Tales from Beyond The Closet!!!, a campy and terrifying evening of one-acts by Joey Merlo, “one of the most exciting and original voices writing for the New York stage at the moment” (Zachary Stewart, Theatermania) is set to run May 31 - June 23, 2024, at The Tank (312 West 36th St). Directed by Nick Browne, Midnight Coleslaw will open on Sunday, June 2. Tickets are now on sale at www.thetanknyc.org.
Join drag-vamp, Midnight Coleslaw (and her talking-skull-sidekick, Boner) as she hosts a campy and titillating evening of queer horror-comedy. Audiences will marvel at a chair made out of skin that turns into a humanoid third-wheel in a couple’s relationship, a father back from the dead to make sure his little (unbeknownst to him lesbian) girl is thriving, and an aging queen’s party of disappearing guests. Exit the closet and enter the theater—if you dare!!!
