$2/moTIER 1: Longing Lasts LongerEveryone who joins my Patreon gets access to EVERY POST! We believe in Dignity For All.
So we begin at $2/month so everyone can participate. Two dollars per month is about the same as paying for one of my shows per year - but here you get to see dozens and dozens of them.
Most importantly, by joining my Patreon, YOU become my producer. You are helping me create my work one month at a time and I really, really appreciate it.
Longing Lasts Longer is a recent multiple award-winning show of mine. To date, it’s been performed 196 times in 44 cities around the world and is still going strong. LLL has been called, a blend of razor-sharp satire, memoir and comedy, whose street smarts and exuberance, opens a crack in our planet’s post-gentrified landscape.
Here on Patreon, you can watch our multi-camera shoot of a beautiful production of LLL from St. Ann’s Warehouse.
$5/moTIER 2: Bad ReputationAt this level you'll have access to every post PLUS a digital copy of my book, BAD REPUTATION.
Thank you for stepping it up a notch. Steve Zehentner, my collaborative partner of 30 years and I need your support to continue to do what we do – provide challenging old-fashioned one-of-a-kind content at a discount price. We really appreciate you and need your involvement in our work to continue doing everything we do!
Our book Bad Reputation was published by Semiotext(e). It contains three of my scripts with penetrating essays by Stephen Bottoms, Ken Bernard, Chris Kraus, Sarah Schulman and Steve Zehentner. Plus it’s loaded with exotic photographs!
Bad Reputation is also my all-girl-revenge show that examines the co-optation of the “bad girl” image by the art and entertainment world. Long before the #Metoo movement, as a girl who was slandered and shunned, I created work about that experience that changes the narrative from victim to target. Bad Reputation will be uploaded to Patreon in 2022!
$10/moTIER 3: New York ValuesAt this level you'll receive all the benefits from the previous tiers AND a Penny Arcade COFFEE MUG!
Thanks for mucking in and sharing a cuppa of whatever with me! A great way to start your day.
This super extra-double high-quality coffee-tea-chai latte mug features an iconic photo by photographer Jasmine Hirst, who I have collaborated with since 1995.
New York Values is my show that is an autopsy on the ongoing death of bohemia.
The beautiful 2002 production of New York Values from PS122 in New York is available for viewing on my Patreon as well as a recent solo one-off version from 2020 at Joe’s Pub.
$25/moTIER 4: La MiseriaAt this level you'll receive all the benefits from the previous tiers AND a Penny Arcade JOURNAL.
This 5" x 7" hardcover journal is gorgeous with blank unlined pages and cover photographs by my longtime collaborator Jasmine Hirst.
La Miseria, is part three of my autobiographical trilogy, which includes Based on a True Story and Invitation to the Beginning of the End of the World. La Miseria is the term the peasants of southern Italy use for hard luck. It is also part of the basic premise they are born, live and die under. La Miseria had a cast of 33 actors and non-actors aged 8 to 80 and was my very first Patreon post! La Miseria...available to view for you on Patreon.
$50/moTIER 5: "Bitch Dyke Faghag Whore"At this level you'll receive all the benefits from the previous tiers AND a Penny Arcade PHOTOGRAPH by Laura Rubin.
Famed Warhol circle photographer Laura Rubin, photographed many of the greats: Candy Darling, Holly Woodlawn, Andrea Whips, Mario Montez. This archival digital 8" x 12" photo of me from is from 1969. If you like, I will autograph it to you.
Bitch! Dyke! Faghag! Whore!, is a blend of comedy, political humanism and erotic dancing that has played in over 35 cities around the world. “This freedom of speech anthem boldly takes on sexual liberation with fierce wisdom. The impassioned polemic is tempered by Arcade’s trademark warmth, down-to-earth style, outrageous comedy and an audience dance break!”
You can watch two fabulous versions of this award winning show on Patreon, with more on the way!
$100/moTIER 6: "The Girl Who Knew Too Much"At this level you'll receive all the benefits from the previous tiers AND a personally SIGNED hard copy of my book Bad Reputation AND let's go to lunch – please message me here on Patreon. xoPenny
In this stratosphere, you are helping Steve and I continue to build our production company bigger, brighter and bolder. With several new shows and a podcast series in the works, your support at this level is essential. You won't be disappointed, we get things done.
The Girl Who Knew Too Much is a title I have used for a variety of shows, all which represent deep learning experiences in my life. Currently, one work in progress performance of TGWKTM from Joe’s Pub 2018 is available for viewing on Penny Arcade Patreon. Many more will follow.
