"An intensely thoughtful and funny show." Dress up & admire!
About this Event
This local theater project went online with bonkers animation for the neighborhood beer festival during Covid lockdown in 2020.
Savannah James is racing against time.
Orders are rushing in for her custom couture dirndl dresses; friends, customers and reporters keep appearing in her basement studio; ideas keep popping into her head; and—what’s that sound? A baby clock going.... cuckoo?
Business has been booming since Zendaya wore Savannah's American Flag dirndl in Teen Vogue. Suddenly Savannah's idea of making ethnic mashups of traditional German party clothes is getting every inner city in America excited about hosting multicultural Oktoberfests. But now they're enlisting her for costumes to fight Neo Nazis too? Is this any time to bring a baby to work?
Kristen Caven’s play for those with German ancestry is about work and creativity, horror stories and fashion fantasies, building positive futures out of complicated pasts, and the beauty of a circle of women.
Oh, and beer. Lots of beer.
Bring your own (non-alcoholic) beer, wear lederhosen & dirndl, and get ready for an unforgettable evening! We'll show off dirndl winners from previous fashion shows, plus the growing collection of "show dirndls."
All tickets include a download of the How to Host a Dirndl Diversity Fashion Show guide to stir things up at your own Oktoberfest celebration. The script is available on Amazon. (Production is great at all times of year.)
