Peaches Christ, Jinkx Monsoon and Mink Stole Headline “Return To Grey Gardens” on Sept 29

Jinkx Monsoon and Peaches Christ return to Seattle on September 29th with “Return to Grey Gardens” their drag parody version of the classic documentary.

If you kicked yourself for missing the Peaches Christ/Jinkx Monsoon drag parody production of “Return to Grey Gardens”when it was done in Seattle during the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival a couple years ago, well, you’re in luck.

‘Cause it’s coming BAAAAAAAAAAAACK on Thursday, September 29, 2016 for two “staunch” shows at the Egyptian Cinema with both Peaches Christ and Jinkx returning as the nutty mother/daughter who are at the center of the classic 1975 documentary about the pair by the Maysles Brothers. And, joining them is very special guest star, MINK STOLE, the beloved actress best known for her many roles in the films of John Waters. Stole appeared in the original production of “Return to Grey Gardens” but this is her first appearance in Seattle with the show.

Tickets for “Return to Grey Gardens” go on sale at 11 am Thursday, August 25th!! Mother Darling insists you put on your most revolutionary costume and buy tickets IMMEDIATELY before they disappear!

This is the second Peaches Christ production to come to Seattle this year as part of a new production arrangement between Peaches and local producers Qurb Media Group (formerly Sinfinite Events,) operated by Arden Turnbull and Jimmy Scarpello  in partnership with 5 Senses Reeling Events and Seattle International Film Festival who run the Egyptian. If you recall, their “Whatever Happened To Bianca Del Rio?” was a big hit during Pride Week this past June. Look for announcements about further Peaches Christ shows in the near future… (hint: probably expect the next one at the first of the year, January 2017).

Here’s more skinny from the press release including the local supporting cast and ticket pricing options and packages available for the two performances on September 29th.

Qurb Media Group and Peaches Christ Productions announce the next production in their quarterly series at Seattle’s Egyptian Theatre, “Return to Grey Gardens” starring Jinkx Monsoon as Lil’ Jinkxy and Peaches Christ as Big Peachy, with special guest star Mink Stole.

The original beloved cult documentary by the Maysles Brothers captured the eccentric lives of mother and daughter former society doyennes, now fallen on hard times. This hilarious original live theater production written and directed by Peaches Christ, is set forty years into the future and documents the routine of an aging drag mother and her bitter drag daughter who continue to perform for an empty house.

JINKX MONSOON is the alter ego of Jerick Hoffer, who graduated with a degree in theatrical performance from Cornish College in Seattle. Hoffer is a seasoned Seattle-based entertainer who has captured the attention of his native northwest region and audiences around the world. During his time appearing on RuPaul’s Drag Race his character portrayal of cult hero Little Edie Bouvier Beale from Grey Gardens during the “Snatch Game” not only won him the challenge but put him on path to taking the season five crown.

PEACHES CHRIST, the alter ego of Joshua Grannell, is a San Francisco-based filmmaker and entertainer who made his feature film directorial debut with the dark, horror comedy All About Evil. Peaches continues to produce the immensely popular Midnight Mass movie series at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre as well as many other ‘live’ events, for crazed fans, in San Francisco and around the world.

MINK STOLE is a household name for anyone familiar with the films of John Waters – she has appeared in every one of his features, and almost all of his movies. She began her film career in Waters’ 1966 short Roman Candles, but her appearances in films including Pink Flamingos, Female Trouble, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom and Hairspray have undeniably made her an underground legend. In 2013, she starred Off-Broadway in an acclaimed revival of Tennessee Williams’ The Mutilated opposite Penny Arcade. She also co-starred with Natasha Lyonne in Joshua Grannell’s comedy horror film All About Evil. Follow her at www.minkstole.com.

The star-studded local cast features; Major Scales, Sparkle Leigh, Sylvia O’Stayformore, and Leicester Landon with Abbey Roads, Tipsy Rose Lee, Isabella Extynn, and James Majesty.
