Dallas — UPDATE: APRIL 6, 2012: The contest below is over. The winners have been notified, so check your email if you entered.
For today's giveaway, we have two pairs of tickets to Fruit Fly, the one-man show written by and starring Emmy-winning actor Leslie Jordan (best known as Beverley Leslie on Will & Grace). The show runs April 9-11 at Contemporary Theatre of Dallas, and these tickets are for Monday, April 9 at 8 p.m.
Here's a description of the show:
FRUIT FLY is Mr. Jordan’s latest and all new one man autobiographical stage work dealing with the age old question...Do gay men eventually become their mothers. Mr. Jordan travels back in time using show-and-tell to take the audience on a ride of a lifetime. Childhood recollections combine with perilous teenage shenanigans. From the day a teenage Leslie sits down with his caring but clueless mother to inform her that he has decided to forego college to become a female impersonator, all the way to an Alaskan cruise with 2000 gay men on which a 53-year-old Mr. Jordan witnesses his aging mother’s astounding metamorphosis, Mr. Jordan is in his element. His storytelling skill abounds and will make for an evening of fun and thought-provoking theater.
To win, email tickets@theaterjones.com, and put FRUIT FLY in the subject line. In the body of email, put your name, address, phone number and best email contact.
You have until 11:30 p.m. Thursday, April 5 to submit an email. We'll notify the winners Friday morning.
