NEW YORK—Monday, December 3, Darling House will present The Other American Dream, a remarkable evening of performance, discussion, and art held at the Galapagos Art Space. Doors open at 8 pm and the show begins at 9 pm. The Other American Dream is a night of burlesque, acclaimed nude photography, music, magic and more, in celebration of figures on the frontier of New American Sexuality, a cultural Wild West where straight, gay, traditional, polyamorous, vanilla and kinky citizens find common ground of acceptance of a new and more integrated definition of our sex lives.
