“Dirty Paki Lingerie” comes to the Bridge Street Theatre, 44 W. Bridge St., Catskill, for performances on Friday, Sept. 4, and Saturday, Sept. 5, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 6, at 2 p.m.
“Dirty Paki Lingerie” premiered in New York City in 2011 at The Midtown International Theater Festival and has toured the world since then. In the play, Aizzah Fatima plays six Pakistani-American Muslim women ranging in age from a 6 to 65 and a dozen other minor characters. Cross-cultural sparks fly and preconceptions about Muslim women, sex and politics are hilariously shattered in the show that The Wall Street Journal says “breaks down stereotypes of Muslim women in America” and that reviewers call a “must-see” production.
“Dirty Paki Lingerie” transcends boundaries of culture, religion and gender, moving and entertaining audiences with its unique and universal appeal. A rich, sexy and infectiously entertaining mosaic of the sublime, the comic, the poetic, and the political.
A writer and actor, Fatima is a member of The Bats, the resident acting company at The Flea Theater. Some of her theatre credits include “Romeo Juliet,” “Circumcaedere” and “Ripe for the Picking.” Her television credits include “The Good Wife” and “Food Detectives with Ted Allen.” She has performed at Upright Citizen’s Brigade and appeared in sketches for collegehumor.com. Her short film, “Stuff,” which she wrote and starred in with Annette O’Toole has played at festivals from New York City to Italy, has played at festivals from New York City to Italy and won the Best Comedy award at Asians on Film.
Tickets are $15, $10 for students and seniors.
