SWEETIE

Featured on Bravo's Project Runway and seen on Oprah, Sweetie is a full tilt,

larger than life, bold, beautiful, plus sized bundle of dynamite.  Celebrated as New

York City's Best Lipsync Artist 13 years in a row and two time Drag Entertainer

of the Year, Sweetie has won coveted roles in the major motion picture To Wong

Foo, Rupaul's cult comedy Starrbooty, and Off Broadway's smash hit Wig Out at

the highly respected Vineyard Theatre.  Sweetie's downtown roots include runs

and appearances at Ps122, Here, The Public Theater, Joe's Pub, The Abrams Arts

Center, and Dixon Place.  Sweetie's long time affiliation with TWEED Theater has

afforded her high praise for her hysterical takes on William Inge's Picnic,

Tennessee Williams Summer and Smoke, and adaptations of film classics A Patch

of Blue, Ordinary People and The Postman Always Rings Twice.  In her solo

work, Sweetie's quick, caustic, rapid-fire delivery tops off her irreverent "take no

prisoners" onstage persona.  She is one of the best emcees in the business.

Sweetie's capacity to tickle our funny bone then tug on your heartstrings is

astounding.  She is the best of "Bette", a dollop of "Dolly", a little "Lampanelli"

and a whole lot of love.  This professional glamour puss always leaves them weak

and begging for more.

"A True Drag Icon” The Village Voice

"To watch Sweetie is to enter a Twilight Zone where the natural laws of physics

and biology seem to have melted and mutated."
