Come meet Charles Busch, direct from the stage of the SoHo Playhouse, where his unanimously acclaimed new play, The Divine Sister, is the comic hit of the season. Subject of the PBS-aired documentary, The Lady in Question is Charles Busch, this award-winning actor and prolific playwright--including the Tony nominated Tale of the Allergist’s Wife and Vampire Lesbians of Sodom--will talk about his multifaceted career. Mr. Busch will also tempt us with inside details about his sophisticated new hit, in which he slyly channels every Hollywood nun from Rosalind Russell’s The Trouble With Angels and Ingrid Bergman’s The Bells of St. Mary’s to The Singing Nun herself!
DIE MOMMIE DIE (2003)
An outrageous post-modern send-up of Douglas Sirk and other plush Hollywood melodramas of the 1950’s, Die Mommie Die won Charles Busch the coveted Sundance Film Festival’s Best Performance Award. Retired hit-parade singer/film star Angela Arden--surviving member of a twin-sister vaudeville act--is married to ailing producer Sol Sussman while pursuing a wild affair with handsome young tennis instructor Tony Parker (Jason Priestly). Impossibly gracious but secretly desperate, Angela plots to poison Sol, who, refusing a divorce, cuts off her allowance instead. Daughter Edith (also Tony’s lover) suspects foul play and wouldn’t mind if Mom got the Chair--but son Lance (also Tony’s lover) will doing anything to protect the mother he adores. Devotees of byzantine movie plots may think they know the outcome--but the surprise ending will knock your socks off! (USA, 2003, 90 min.)
Charles Busch will be interviewed by Dr. Jud Newborn, CAC Special Projects Curator and author, Sophie Scholl and the White Rose.

Halloween Joke via Sister Walburga
Alison Fraser (Sister Walburga) sent us this hilarious Halloween joke. Trick or treat!
Halloween Tale
A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome Cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."
She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."
"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me"
She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that:
#1, You have to be single, and
#2, You must be Catholic."
The cab driver is very excited and says, "Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"
"OK" the nun says. "Pull over to the side of the road."
The nun fulfills his fantasy and gives him a big kiss.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
"My dear child," says the nun, "why are you crying?"
"Forgive me but I've sinned.. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."
The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.”
