Going...Going...Gone...the Glitter Edition!

Angel Burlesque and Two First Name Productions team up to present a very special adults only version of Going, Going, Gone...the Glitter Edition! 

What is "Going...Going...Gone"? The brainchild of Lou Harry and John Thomas, GGG was a hit at IndyFringe 2012 and has enjoyed great success since. This is a live AUCTION comedy in which the audience does our bidding.

It’s the final night at Ed’s Auction House. Ed’s dead, and three people face the task of selling off his last worldly possessions. What can they do but auction the items off to the audience? In an added glittery twist, Ed's Auction House itself has been sold to become the new home of Angel Burlesque.

And what can the audience do but become a part of the show by bidding on the items with the play money they’ve been given as they enter the theater? And what can the Angels do but rehearse their burlesque routines?

The action unfolds as the actors learn along with the audience what items must be auctioned off – and create the stories behind those items. The best part? Audience members who place winning bids take their purchases home.

WHAT: “Going…Going…Gone” interactive play

WHEN: Sunday, April 7th, 7:00 p.m.

WHERE: IndyFringe Basile Theatre

COST: $15; $12 for students and senior citizens (Tickets available atwww.IndyFringe.org ) This is an
