The 5pm Post – Thanksgiving Day Basket Project and Tilted Torch: Spook-o-rama 10/30/10

“Each year — for the past 20 years — one of our neighbors has led the Thanksgiving Day Basket Project. She accepts food donations to prepare at least 30 Thanksgiving food baskets for needy seniors and families in our neighborhood – last year, she was able to prepare 49 baskets!

WHAT: Bring your Thanksgiving food donations – specifically, small size non-perishable food items

WHEN: Sunday October 17th (our friendly neighbor who makes the baskets starts early so that she can fill the gaps)

WHERE: The Red Derby (14th and Quincy)”

Washington, DC – Tilted Torch returns to Washington, DC, after back-to-back sold out shows in
Baltimore! And this time, these characters will certainly cast a spell on you with their new
production, Spook-o-rama.

Dust off your headstone and join the creatures of the night on a terrifying journey that only Tilted
Torch can provide. This spooky variety show runs for one night only⎯Saturday, October 30th at
9:00 pm⎯and features Miss Joule and Malibu’s bloodcurdling fire play. Little Luna will rattle your
skeleton bones with her wicked pasties and Sabrina Chap will be flying in from New York City on
her broomstick with her ruthless ragtime. Teleporting from San Francisco, Miss Rosie will astound
with her eerily haunting hoopdancing. The head boogieman for the evening is the sinister
femme-cee Shortstaxx. With ghastly games and an outrageous raffle, the ghouls and goblins of
Tilted Torch will make you scream for more! And when the show ends, the party begins… The
Warehouse Theater and The Passenger combine for an after-party like no other. Dance the
evening away in the Theater with DJ MG or cozy up to the bar in the Passenger for one of the
best cocktails in the city!

Hot Halloween attire preferred.”
