Sidle up to the bar within the Tipsy Sparrow speakeasy, get a glass of bathtub gin, and get a rose-colored seem back at the closing evening when alcoholic beverages was illegal in The us in this humorous historical cabaret from Melanie Gall, the wintertime/vocalist driving Ingenue, previous year’s powerful Deanna Dubin bioplay. In scenario you aren’t up to speed on hatchet-wielding Carrie Nation, Pussyfoot Johnson, and the record of teetotalling, Gall shares in story and song how the early 20th century temperance motion reworked every single factor of our life, from boat style and design and Kosher wine to the English language alone.
