Caitlin Cook

Deep Ellum Art Company Presents: Caitlin Cook : The Writing on the Stall in Dallas

This is an early show - doors at 7:00 and Caitlin will come on at 7:30

Fresh from its sold-out Off-Broadway debut and selection as a New York Times’ critic’s pick, Caitlin Cook’s hit bathroom graffiti musical is a comedic, musical, and theatrical sensation. This is a show for comedy nerds, musical theater kids, art history buffs, and anyone who's ever seen something written in a bathroom and thought, "I wonder who wrote that?" Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom—transforms graffiti scrawled all over the stalls into the lyrics of her original songs and trail markers along the journey she takes us upon. Through these irreverent, poignant, and often obscene messages, Cook reckons with our shared humanity and what we owe each other. May include: slingshotted panties, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick (complete, with spurs!)
