JOIN US for the news conference to support a ban on the use of exotic animals in circuses! During her short life, Angelica has suffered unimaginable horrors. So that she could go on the road to perform with the Ringling Bros. Circus, workers used ropes to prematurely separate baby Angelica from her mother when she was less than 2 years old. The nightmarish ordeal burned her young skin and left visible wounds. In August 2004, activists from San Francisco-based Citizens for Cruelty-Free Circuses captured on videotape that a Ringling handler was hitting and jabbing a chained Angelica with a bullhook. Please join members of PETA and the League of Humane Voters of New York City (LOHV-NYC) on March 18 at 12 noon at Madison Square Garden to help elephants like Angelica. We need to urge the City Council to pass Council Member Rosie Mendez’s Intro 389, which would end the use of elephants and other exotic animals in circuses in the city.

Tuesday, March 18, 12 noon/ Where: Madison Square Garden (at 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue), near Borders bookstore. Intro 389 is now a bipartisan effort sponsored by 21 members of the 51-member council. We are only five members short of a majority of support. In order to get that majority, we need to show that there is massive public support for this bill. Please join us at the news conference. Your attendance is crucial! Looking for another way to help? On March 20, the day Ringling Bros. opens its show in New York, we need you to call your council member and urge him or her to support Intro 389, the bill to ban the use of wild animals in circuses. If you have any questions, please contact LOHV-NYC at 212-889-0303. The group can also provide you with your council member’s contact information if you have trouble locating it here.

How Much: $15

When exactly are you supposed to look at a man’s you-know-what? This and other important questions will be explored as Deupree and Carr kick the chick flick cliché in the balls with their darkly hilarious collage of lonely ladies who do desperate things. Weaving their sketches, stories, and songs into a cozy quilt of delightful shame, Two Girls For Five Bucks makes falling out of love sexy…again. Two Girls For Five Bucks is Cathleen Carr and Daiva Deupree, a critically acclaimed and widely celebrated New York based two-woman sketch comedy burlesque show that has been featured at comedy festivals across the country, including the LA Comedy Fest and SketchFest NYC. They have enjoyed regular performances at both The Upright Citizens Brigade and Ars Nova in New York City.

“The characters were neurotic and engaging, and Carr and Deupree committed to them with bracing energy. The two girls use their comfortable charisma to elicit belly laughs.” -NY Press

“These two gals never fail to deliver.” -Gotham Magazine

“Both Carr and Deupree commit to their characters and scenes with such abandon that you willingly go along with them for the ride…It’s all thoroughly enjoyable.” -Boston Herald
