BONUS SHOW #2
The Facts of Life - The "lost" Episode - (regional premiere)

June 13-29 , 2008 - At the ROSE ROOM - STATION 4

By Jamie Morris

This parody of this bewilderingly popular show features five drag performers enacting Facts' fictional lost episode. Woven in are some amusingly rewritten songs from The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. The episode has budget cuts threatening to force Mrs. Garrett to leave Eastland. Blair, Tootie, Natalie and Jo are willing to do anything to raise enough money for her to stay. The episode also stakes out some new territory – taking Jo and Blair’s love/hate relationship and accentuating the love portion. This special bonus show will be presented at the Rose Room at Station 4.
