backroom bar series: drunken dolls

Girls and gays remember the cultural chokehold of American Girl dolls in the 90’s and 2000’s. A doll who lives with her rich grandmother and has a butterfly catching outfit? Cunt. A doll who literally watched her best friend die of cholera? Sickening. A doll with a FAB (fuck ass bob) who was subsequently played by Abigail Breslin in a feature film? Amazing, actually. The nostalgia for these characters runs deep and although we can never fully replicate our experiences, we sure as hell can revisit them. American Girl used to sell “theater kits” which included scripts based on the stories of their historical character collection. Spirit Freak is thrilled to announce our “Drunken Dollz” series: monthly staged readings of these plays at which the actors and the audience get a little tipsy.
