Snatch Adams & Tainty McCracken Present It’s That Time of the Month
written and performed by Becca Blackwell and Amanda Duarte
directed by Jess Barbagallo
in association with The Bushwick Starr
October 25 2023 - December 10 2023
Trigger Warning: There will be fluids!
Snatch Adams is a 6-foot tall vagina who lost her job as a clown at Planned Parenthood in 2016. After knocking on clinic doors across America, only to find them shuttered, she is finally hired to host a talk show with recently Me-Too’ed comic Tainty McCracken! Along with a rotating roster of celebrity guests, Snatch and Tainty fart, flirt, and squirt in order to bring awareness and love to genitals and their human companions everywhere.
Join us at this original queer spectacle featuring puppets, prizes, and perversity, and celebrate the power and autonomy of loudmouthed vagina people while you still can. You’ll laugh so hard you’ll go number three!

The Bushwick Starr is a nonprofit theater that cooperatively nurtures the creative spirit that has defined our neighborhood for decades. In creating close communion with professional and student performing artists to develop original work, we cultivate an electric space for embodied performance that respects and reflects the community that surrounds us. Since 2007, the Starr has served as a destination for bold and engaging performance. Past Seasons have included new work from groundbreaking artists such as Ryan J. Haddad, Whitney White, Jeremy O. Harris, Heather Christian, Diana Oh, The Mad Ones, Haruna Lee, Clare Barron, and Daniel Fish. The Starr will establish its permanent home at 419 Eldert Street in 2024, creating a lasting cultural asset for Bushwick and for artists, students, and audiences across New York City.
