My Comic Valentine at Fort Fringe

Rotogravure Entertainment and banished? productions will present a limited performance of My Comic Valentine, a selection of romance comics from the 1950s adapted for the stage, from February 11 through 15 at The Shop at Fort Fringe, 610 L St Northwest (former home to A.V. Ristorante Italiano). From the press release:

Based on actual comic book stories from over fifty years ago, this show examines the culture and values of the early '50s through a most contemporary lens, challenging the conservative stereotypes and affirming universal truths in the never-ending search for true love. A living comic book with all the elements, from cover to cover including the ads and letters, My Comic Valentine brings heart, humor and sheer pre-code hotness to THE SHOP at Fort Fringe in four-color splendor.

Performance times are 8pm (Wed, Thu, Fri & Sat) and 10pm (Fri & Sat), with a Sunday matinee at 3pm. Tickets are $15 available online here or at the door one hour prior to scheduled performance times (at the door payment accepted in cash or check). For more information, click here.
