Awful Things in Denver
Friday, October 30, 7-10 p.m.
Tivoli Event Center, 900 Auraria Parkway, 80204
Denver film buffs, Bette Davis fans and anyone with a camp sensibility are invited to a special one-night-only event: Matthew Martin (as Bette Davis as Baby Jane) hosting the classic 1962 gothic horror What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? A perfect prelude to Saturday’s Halloween festivities, Martin’s exclusive Denver engagement will have audience members screaming with laughter…or horror. There will also be a special teaser of the new film, Baby Jane?, introduced by Martin.
In 1962, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford shocked the world with their sensational roles in the instant cult film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? The film was an international hit and reignited public interest and curiosity in Davis and Crawford, two grand dames of Old Hollywood. Now this weird film has been remade starring Matthew Martin, a San Francisco entertainer, actor and cabaret performer who has won audience and critical praise for his sharp and humorous impersonation of Bette Davis, The film, titled simply Baby Jane?, is in post-production and set for a 2010 release. See Martin as Bette Davis in this teaser of the new film.
The fun starts at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 30, at the Tivoli Turnhalle Opera House. This fundraising event for Denver Public Library’s adult cultural programming (Fresh City Life) and The GLBT Center of Colorado will also feature Vivienne Vavoom and her V Burlesque troupe as well as the Denver Gay Men’s Chorus.
