Lipstick
by Austin Rainbow Theatre (ART)
Nov. 15 - Dec. 30
Lipstick is a silly, sweet farce with a heart of gold and a drawer full of sex toys. Anna has invited Kelly over for dinner, but is it a date? Or just hanging out? How could Anna know?! Is Kelly even gay?! Kelly wears earrings AND boots!
Just in case that wasn’t confusing enough, a cavalcade of visitors crashes their evening – an ex-girlfriend, a nebby bestie, a handyman, a mom, and a parade of potential suitors. Hijinks, of course, ensue, in this play-shaped love letter to the queer community.
