A SMASH HIT AT THE NEW ORLEANS FRINGE! IF YOU MISSED IT THEN, DON'T MISS IT AGAIN!!
In this scandalous slice of New Orleans history, The Baroness Pontalba tells the darkly humorous tale of the incredible injustices inflicted upon her by her in-laws. The Baroness weaves words of rhymed verse with great theatrical intensity, revealing her pheonix-like journey toward historic signifigance. In the face of great adversity, she rises from the ashes of despair to both reflect and reclaim the legendary status of the city of her birth, New Orleans.
"“Ms. Shortes takes great artistic and physical risks in 'The Baroness Undressed'....
The Garbo of New Orleans performance art....In a word, she astonishes!” - The Times-Picayune
