Jacobs’ Aging Gracelessly: 50 Shades of Fay set Nov. 7 at MCC
Fay Jacobs and her solo performance of Aging Gracelessly: 50 Shades of Fay will return to Rehoboth for two shows at 7 and 9 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7, at Metropolitan Community Church. The shows are a benefit for the MCC on Plantation Road. Tickets are now available.
This is Jacobs’ last scheduled performance of the reading in the Rehoboth area prior to touring with the show through next spring and summer.
The reading, which has garnered rave reviews and terrific word of mouth, comprises two short acts (with an intermission for cocktails) and is based on Jacobs’ four published memoirs, her hilarious columns, plus an all-new narrative covering LGBT issues, Rehoboth’s proud history, and the national and Delaware fight for marriage equality.
At its core, the reading, or sit-down comedy routine, highlights the author’s insistence that nothing is ever so horrible if it’s worth the story one can tell. The event will have her signature humor and relatable stories of the community tackling life, liberty and the aging process.
Metropolitan Community Church of Rehoboth Beach will celebrate its 25th Anniversary in 2016. A member of the worldwide Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches, founded in 1968 (before Stonewall), MCC Rehoboth Beach is a Christian church with a primary outreach to the LGBTQ community.
In addition to her five sold-out Rehoboth performances, Jacobs has been on stage in New Orleans; Provincetown, Mass.; Fort Myers, Fla.; Annapolis, Md.; and more. She has upcoming shows in Winston-Salem, N.C.; Allentown, Pa.; and pending dates in New York City and New England.
Audiences are invited to come along for the ride as Jacobs and her wife Bonnie share life in one boat, two condos, two houses, and an RV, loving a succession of Schnauzers, and being domestic partnered, civil unioned and married. From zip lines to skunk sprays, lesbian invisibility to marriage equality, join Jacobs for the journey.
