425 million years, you say? Well, that does a hell of a lot to explain the Aussie-bred "Puppetry of the Penis" that has--according to theatre ads--impressed metropolitan areas across the globe since it's debut. Currently, it's impressing the smallish crowds anxious to peel off $34 at Le Petit in NOLA. It's hailed as the ancient art of genital origamy.
Because this is as close as my wallet allows me to get to the well-hung actors, here's the Gambit's listing of three relevant theatre pieces:
MY JOHNSON SPEAKS. Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carré, Director's Studio, 616 St. Peter St., 522-2081. The comedy investigates and celebrates man's greatest obsession. Fred Nuccio directs Tony Molina, Jerry Lee Leighton and Dane Rhodes. Tickets $26. 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday. Open run.
THE NUTCRACKER. East Jefferson High School, The Jefferson Performing Arts Center, 400 Phlox Ave., Metairie, 885-2000. Peter Tchaikovksy's classic Christmas ballet. Dennis G. Assaf conducts. Tickets $$12-$27. 7:30 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday.
PUPPETRY OF THE PENIS. Le Petit Theatre, 616 St. Peter St., 522-2081 or 522-5555. Acclaimed show features two naked puppeteers, Jef Benjamin and Dan Speed, presenting the art of "genital origami."
