Joshua Grannell is returning to Pittsburgh. Grannell who wrote and directed the horror/comedy, “All About Evil,” is flying in for a screening of the film for Reel Q’s 30th Anniversary fundraiser on October 8 at the Harris Theater. Grannell was a film student at Penn State University almost twenty years ago. His senior thesis film, “Jizzmopper: A Love Story,” won the audience award at the annual Penn State Film Festival in 1996.
Grannell said, “I used to hang out in Pittsburgh. I used to watch screenings at the Beehive and I used to go to Pegasus. The Andy Warhol Museum was just opening when I left [May 15, 1994].”
The filmmaker is more commonly known by his on-stage persona, Peaches Christ, a character he first developed back in “Jizzmopper: A Love Story.”
Grannell said, “I was queer at a young age. I didn’t know I was gay, but I wasn’t interested in sports. I liked drama, theater and movies. I was always attracted to horror. I was obsessed with ‘Psycho.’” He added, “I was a sensitive boy, but I liked movies with dark subject matter.”
After graduating at Penn State, Grannell moved to San Francisco where Peaches Christ flourished. He began producing Midnight Mass, a midnight movie series. At Midnight Mass at the Bridge Theater in San Francisco, Peaches attracted a slew of special guest stars like Cassandra Peterson (“Elvira, Mistress of the Dark”), Mink Stole (“Desperate Living”), Tura Satana (“Faster Pussycat Kill Kill”) and John Waters (“Hairspray,” “Cry Baby,” “Pink Flamingos,” “Serial Mom” and more).
Mark Cuban (“Shark Tank”) took an interest in Peaches. In Midnight Mass’s tenth annual season, a six-part series, “Midnight Mass with your Hostess Peaches Christ” was filmed and televised on the HDnet Movie Channel produced by Cuban. Peaches went on to make appearances on VH1, AMC and IFC.
In 2007, the de Young Museum hosted a retrospective of Peaches Christ called, “Cattychism.” The exhibition featured artistic contributions inspired by Peaches, including ten years of iconic costumes.
But it was the connections that help launch “All About Evil.” Grannell said, “I became friends with people who were big inspirations to me.” The writer/director formed long-lasting friendships with Cassandra Peterson and Mink Stole.
He added, “We did a Midnight Mass with Mink Stole and screened ‘Desperate Living’ and she told me later that it was really important to her. She was always regarded as a member of the John Waters family, but at that screening she said, ‘I never received accolades without the others around.’ It was really special to her.”
Grannell said, “I was inspired by people like Cassandra Peterson.” There is a resemblance. Grannell hosts midnight movies, and Peterson hosted midnight movies as Elvira. Neither Grannell nor Peterson look like their personas without the hair and makeup.
The filmmaker was able to entice both Mink Stole and Cassandra Peterson to appear in “All About Evil.” The film winks at Bette Davis, Mae West and other movie stars. The movie stars Natasha Lyonne (“Orange is the New Black,” “But I’m a Cheerleader”) as a mousy librarian who inherits her father’s Movie Theater, but when she commits a grisly murder (inside a Bed, Bath and Beyond of all places) she becomes a horror genre sensation. Although the audience is unaware that the on screen murders are real.
At the Pittsburgh screening at the Harris Theater, 809 Liberty Avenue, Downtown Pittsburgh, the San Francisco filmmaker will host special performances by Vinsantos, Janet Granite and Bambi Deerest. Local drag diva Sharon Needles will introduce the event. After the movie, the celebration will continue down the block at There Ultra Lounge, 931 Liberty Avenue, Downtown Pittsburgh.
Grannell will spend a few days in Pittsburgh before heading to a special screening at his alma mater, Penn State.
Grannell added, “I’ve got a couple of days in Pittsburgh, and Sharon Needles has offered to take me around.”
Picture it, Peaches Christ and Sharon Needles out on the town. It’s going to be a wild weekend in the ‘Burgh.

Once upon a time… The Baker and his Wife were struggling to put a bun in the oven, so to speak. When the Witch next door reveals the source of their problem, they set out on a journey to reverse the curse. Along the way, they encounter Little Red Ridinghood, Jack, Cinderella, some randy princes, a nefarious wolf, and plenty of other characters who teach them that anything really can happen in the woods. It’s a parable about what we really get when we get what we want, set to a dazzling score by Stephen Sondheim.

Disney’s film version, directed by Rob Marshall and starring Anna Kendrick, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp, was released in 2014 and nominated for several Academy Awards, among others. Music and lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim, book is by James Lapine.

Stranded on the roof as the flood waters rise, we find three men, bible-toting Malcolm (Jomo Ray), angry E-Z (Maurice Redwood) and the deceased Lowboy (Sam Lothard) in Beau Willimon’s “Lower Ninth.” The two living men are coming to terms with the death of the third in their own unique ways. Malcolm recites liturgy while E-Z broods impatiently. They are trapped and unable to do much else.
The dead man is the least of their concerns. They don’t know if anyone is coming for them, and they’re not sure they can work together to survive. When the levees broke, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina devastated the Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans. During the deluge, many people climbed onto the roofs of their houses and awaited their fate. Some survived. Some didn’t.
The brisk one-act play is an exploration of God, man and brotherhood set during the flood. P.S. It’s only a matter of time before Malcolm mentions Noah. Though it’s an expected analogy, Willimon steers the ark in a new direction with an interesting take on racism.
There are quite a few laughs in “Lower Ninth,” but it is by no means a comedy, other than in the strictest tradition of the word. For the most part, the playwright is trying to milk every bit of pathos from this unusual circumstance. Deep down, it’s a story of two men and how they perceive each other. Obviously, there is more to their relationship that meets the eye, but telling you that would venture far into spoiler territory.
These men on the roof seem diametrically opposed to one another, and you can’t help wonder how they became entwined, but it gets worked out in a satisfactory way. There’s a really clever bit utilizing Lothard’s talents, but again, redacted for your spoiler-free review.
Willimon’s “Farragut North,” his first major work is far superior to “Lower Ninth,” but the latter title still has its own charm. Also, “Lower Ninth” doles out some meaty roles to a mostly unserved group of actors – – African American men. Unfortunately, one of the characters is a drug dealer feeding a particularly nasty stereotype. Luckily, the other two roles defy stereotypical conventions. There’s a lot more to each of them than the color of their skin.
There is very little to the set and the play hinges on the actors. Director Edwin Lee Gibson keeps everything moving. Ray and Redwood have terrific chemistry together. There is a scene near the end that is shocking, but it brings the two men together in an unexpected way. It’s a deliberate culmination of all that has gone before, and the payoff is more than worth it.
Caravan Theatre of Pittsburgh brought a terrific director and a talented cast together in the beautiful refurbished Elsie Hillman Auditorium in the Hill House.
Ultimately, “Lower Ninth” is about hope, and couldn’t we all use a little more of that in the world?
“Lower Ninth” is at the Elsie Hillman Auditorium, Kaufmann Center, Hill House, 1825 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15219.
It’s a familiar conceit, a large group of disparate characters converge on a country home for a weekend and soon everything is out of control. It’s become a theatrical trope as old as country homes themselves, such goes the tale of “Dulcy” at the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre. Though it’s a worn device, director Cory Rieger breathes life into it with a terrific cast.
The action swirls around the titular heroine, Dulcy Smith (Melessie Clark) who just loves having company in her upstate abode. Her husband Gordon (LaMar Darnell Fields) is in the throes of a financial dilemma, he must sell off is pearl-making jewelry business to rich entrepreneur C. Roger Forbes (David Crawford). Dulcy decides to invite Forbes, his wife (Gayle Pazerski) and daughter, Angela (Sara Fisher) up to Westchester for the weekend. Then, she invites the Angela’s paramour, film writer Vincent Leach (Corey Rieger), much to the chagrin of Mr. Sterrett (Luke Chamberlain). Also in the house for the weekend are Dulcy’s brother William (Trevor Butler), the charming Schuyler Van Dyck (Matthew Robinson) and the Smith’s butler, Henry (Wali Jamal). Every one of them has their own agenda; the business deal, a pearl necklace and Angela’s attentions are the biggest storylines.
Meanwhile, the charming hostess Dulcy blunders from one scenario to another. If you look closely enough you’ll see the name Lucy hidden inside our heroine’s moniker, and there are a lot of similarities between Dulcy and the zany sitcom character, but, just like every episode of “I Love Lucy,” it all works out in the end. However, the journey to the happy ending is a difficult one, fraught with twists and turns. No spoilers, sweetie.
The main reason to go to this show is the cast, led by Clark. She’s is effervescent, a joy to watch. Actually, scenes without her drag a bit. Granted, the scenes without her are generally expository. She strolls into several set ups and provides the punchlines.
The play is not without flaws. There was a weird anachronism: the modern day cell phone reared its digital head. The story seemed to take place in the 30s or 40s, but with iPhones. They were irrelevant and unnecessary. It seemed odd to mention the Saturday Evening Post in a world with cell phones. Luckily, the Smith’s, the Forbes’s or any of the other houseguests refrained from taking selfies.
On the other hand, Dulcy and her houseguests lived in a colorblind version of the past, and it was a joyous paradise (albeit one laden with oddball situations and screwball hostesses).
There was also a weird moment when newlywed Dulcy was pushing the very-married Mrs. Forbes on her admirer, Mr. Van Dyck, but playwright’s Geroge S. Kaufman (a native Pittsburgher) and Marc Connelly (originally from McKeesport, PA) are no longer around to chastise for this choice (by the way, if you were wondering why a company named the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre were dusting off a George S. Kaufman play, I am assuming the previous sentence provided the answer).
The play has some great performances. Jamal’s disgruntled butler gets a good laugh with every brief appearance. The very-talented Pazerski is underused here, but makes the best of her wispy plot threads. Chamberlain makes the most of the oft-ignored, easily forgotten Mr. Sterrett. Crawford is brilliantly comical as the much-maligned and easily-annoyed Forbes. Rieger chews on the well-appointed scenery as a buffoonish screenwriter with delusions of grandeur.
P.S. Speaking of scenery, Tony Ferreiri is one of the best scenic designers in Pittsburgh. His work on the Playwright’s stage is exceptional. The right color and tone, making grand use of a small space.
Side note: The most emotional moment of the Saturday, September 26th opening night show was Mark Clayton Southers triumphant return to the theater he founded in 2003. The artistic director, who was sidelined in May after a debilitating car accident, swelled with pride for his cast and crew. His speech even moistened the eyes of the stalwarts of cynicism.
The superb cast and the gorgeous set are great reasons to see “Dulcy.” But go for the man that began it. Go support diversity, home-grown talent and a champion of theater. Go for Mr. Mark Clayton Southers. He’ll be glad you did.
“Dulcy” runs from September 26 to October 11 at the Pittsburgh Playwrights Theatre, 937 Liberty Avenue, Downtown Pittsburgh, PA 15222
