Kim Estes in "Drunk Talk"

You can see our longtime member Kim Estes (The Life and Times of Tulsa Lovechild, Infinite Black Suitcase, The Reunion) in a show called Drunk Talk at the Dragonfly, 6510 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood

This is an interactive show that transforms the theater space into an actual bar, and here is the show description from its website:

DRUNK TALK is an original play that transforms an actual bar into an interactive, high-spirited comedy. So enter the world of McSwiggen's Tavern where you're not just an audience member, but a patron. But watch out because you never know who is "IN" the show or just "AT" the show.

Follow the cast of zany characteristics as they try and cope with the looming reality that their local bat is closing down after tonight. Now with no place to drink up and chew over their aspirations, will they have to actually get out there and live their lives...or will the bar be saved?

Come join us for a round of DRUNK TALK and have a cold one while you do! Full bar open throughout the entire show. Come thirsty, my friend.

Ticket includes a free McSwiggen's special cocktail during the show!

Must be over 21.

Drunk Talk runs Sunday nights at 8pm through August 1 (except for July 4th), and tickets are $15.

Thanks!
