 Arcade combines the anarchy of Lenny Bruce with the pathos of Judy Garlan
 d\\,. She is provocative\\, intellectually stimulating\\, perceptive and 
 hilariously funny. Penny Arcade is a wonder to behold\\; she manages to e
 ntertain\\, absorb and broaden the audience simultaneously. Beg\\, steal 
 a ticket." -The List UK Longing Lasts Longer is a unique blend of stand-u
 p comedy and memoir set in a riveting rock and roll soundscape mixed live
  by Penny Arcade’s collaborator of 29 years Steve Zehentner. Longing La
 sts Longer has been performed in 45 cities world-wide\\, winning three to
 p festival prizes in Edinburgh and Adelaide. Longing Lasts Longer is fier
 ce\\, visionary and ultimately a forward-looking critique of the erasure 
 of history\\, the rise of nostalgia and the pervasiveness of cultural amn
 esia created by international gentrification seen through the lens of New
  York City. Longing Lasts Longer is a crack in our planet’s post-gentri
 fied landscape and shines a light on the path to individual authenticity.
  No one in theater\\, comedy or rock and roll does anything even remotely
  similar to Penny Arcade\\, where she combines poetics\\, comedy\\, and r
 ock and roll into what can only be called cultural critique you can dance
  to! The camaraderie between her and longtime collaborator Steve Zehentne
 r\\, as he mixes the unique sound score made up of 100 song loops from so
 me of the best popular music of the past 60 years\\, is infectious! You w
 ill be dancing in your seat! In Longing Lasts Longer\\, Penny Arcade dare
 s to tackle the straight jacket that binds today's youth culture to the n
 ormalization of self-censorship and injects fresh air in the current lock
 down of gentrification\\, the erasure of history and the cultural amnesia
  affecting not only our cities but our minds. -- PENNY ARCADE (aka Susana
  Ventura) is an internationally respected writer\\, poet\\, actress and t
 heatre maker\\, and one of a handful of artists who created and continue 
 to define performance art. Penny debuted with John Vaccaro’s explosive 
 Playhouse of the Ridiculous at age 17\\, and was a Warhol Factory Superst
 ar at 19\\, featured in the Andy Warhol's Women in Revolt. With an artist
 ic career spanning almost 50 years\\, Arcade occupies a unique position i
 n the American avant-garde. HM Koutoukas referred to her as ‘the little
  sister of the avant-garde’ because of her long association with the ar
 chitects of the American counter culture movement: Andy Warhol\\, Charles
  Henri Ford\\, John Vaccaro\\, Judith Malina\\, Taylor Mead\\, Jack Smith
 \\, Harry Smith\\, Tom O’Horgan\\, and Charles Ludlam among others. Her
  focus on the creation of community and inclusion as the goals of perform
 ance and her efforts to use performance as a trans-formative act\\, mark 
 her as a true original in the American theatre. In this context\\, Penny 
 has written over ten full-length shows including La Miseria\\, Sisi Sings
  the Blues\\, Bad Reputation and New York Values as well as and hundreds 
 of solos. Her world famous sex and censorship show\\, Bitch! Dyke! Faghag
 ! Whore!\\, has been performed in over 30 cities around the world and was
  successfully revived as a ‘landmark production’ (London Times) for i
 ts 20th anniversary in 2012. In 1991\\, Quentin Crisp chose Arcade as the
  woman he most identified with\\, naming her his anima figure and soul ma
 te. Their friendship became professional as they undertook many performan
 ces together until his death at age 91. An Evening with Quentin Crisp and
  Penny Arcade is now available on DVD to mark Mr. Crisp’s centennial\\,
  and the actress Cynthia Nixon portrayed Arcade in the film on Mr. Crisp�
 ��s New York life\\, An Englishman in New York with John Hurt. In 2010\\,
  Semiotexte/MIT Press published a hardcover book on Arcade called “Bad 
 Reputation: performances\\, essays\\, interviews.” Her award winning do
 cumentary The Lower East Side Biography Project\\, Stemming The Tide of C
 ultural Amnesia which she co-creates with long-time collaborator Steve Ze
 hentner is broadcast weekly in New York on Ch 34 Time Warner and RCN 112 
 and simultaneously at mnn.org. — TICKETS: (All tickets-tiers are Genera
