LIVE! NUDE! GIRL!, according to production notes, is described in this manner: "What if a 1950's Midwestern housewife got so sick of making meatloaf every Tuesday night that she snapped -- and ran away to Las Vegas? What if her mother could drink like Dean and her daughter entertain like Sammy? And what if this housewife went from the silent and submissive bottom to the tough, impulsive and calculated top of the heap? LIVE! NUDE GIRL! is an original musical that tells the story of a once in a lifetime chance for one woman to break out of her rut into something original and cool."

The York Theatre Company is located at The Theatre at Saint Peter's Church, 54th Street just east of Lexington Avenue, New York, NY. For reservations to the free reading, call (212) 935-5824, ext. 24.
