Questions answered by Grace O’Keefe.

Q1: Aside from this Quickie, what is the most desperate marketing tactic you plan on using to get bums in seats this August? 280 chars

Q4: If you brought this show home for the holidays, how would your parents react to them?

My dad is really not a fan of me performing the burlesque number while dressed as my mother. Sorry Papa!
