GHENT, NY — The Ghent Playhouse is pleased to announce its upcoming production of Dirty Blonde, the acclaimed play by Claudia Shear. Directed by Sky Vogel, with musical direction by Cathy Schane-Lydon, the production stars Jessica Cordova, Robert Mason, and Monk Schane-Lydon.
Part comedy, part character study, Dirty Blonde offers a witty and heartfelt exploration of love, obsession, and identity. Inspired by the life and legacy of legendary entertainer Mae West, the play follows two modern-day superfans who meet at her gravesite and discover unexpected connections. Blending humor, history, and a touch of vaudeville flair, the production celebrates individuality and the endurance of an icon.
Performances will take place over two consecutive weekends, June 5–7 and June 12–14, with Friday and Saturday evening shows at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2:00 p.m.
Tickets may be purchased online with no additional processing fees or at the door, subject to availability. Advance tickets are available at ghentplayhouse.org:
– $28 for non-members, $23 for Playhouse members & $12 for students
