Horse Trade Theater Group Presents NAKED GIRLS READING JOINS THE CIRCUS, 1/16

Come one, come all, to The Nakedest Show On Earth! In the center ring, New York's "Best Story Hour" (The Village Voice Best of NY) shares tales of life under the big top as Naked Girls Reading JOINS THE CIRCUS! The hit nude literary salon begins its 2013 season with carnival yarns, tightrope tales and stories straight from the sideshow in this three-ring extravaganza of great literature stripped bare.

Host and ringmaster Nasty Canasta welcomes brand-spanking-new Naked Girl Kita St. Cyr, plus very special guests Miss Coney Island 2010 GiGi La Femme (Nashville) and international cirque and burlesque performer The Lady Josephine (Montreal). Run away with The Naked Girls as Naked Girls Reading JOINS THE CIRCUS - but be sure to bring your own cotton candy.

Naked Girls Reading NYC is the perfect intimate live event: a monthly nude literary salon featuring in-the-buff readings by local burlesque luminaries, professional librarians, authors and other Naked Girls. Past themes have included Banned Books, Science Fiction and Tween Lit, as well as their annual holiday presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Guests to the salon are invited to sip a drink and listen with their eyes wide open as full-frontal literature meets fine art in the intimate theatrical setting of Under St. Marks.

Naked Girls Reading NYC is on the third Wednesday of every month at UNDER St. Marks (94 St. Marks Place between 1^stAve and Ave A) at 9pm. Tickets ($20; 2 for $35) may be purchased online at www.NakedGirlsReadingNYC.com or by calling Smarttix at 212-868-4444. Seating is limited to 45; advance tickets are strongly recommended.
