John Waters at Basilica Hudson

posted Oct 14, 2014

filmmaker John Waters verticalFilmmaker John Waters will be at Basilica Hudson this Saturday, October 18 to perform his one-man show "The Filthy World, Volume 2." Tickets for the show are $125 / $50 students.

Show blurbage:

Waters will be arriving on the heels of his recent Lincoln Center Retrospective, celebrating his 50 years in film and his recent best­selling book release Carsick: John Waters Hitchhikes Across America. Waters, who has been dubbed "the Pope of Trash" and branded "O for Offensive" by the Catholic Church, earned his bad reputation by turning bad taste into high art. Part confession, part Vaudeville act, he'll share with a live theater audience in Hudson his origins in the trash genre and his subsequent adventures navigating everything from fashion to true crime.

The show is a benefit for the the AIDS Council of Northeastern New York and the Basilica's film and media programming. It starts at 8 pm on Saturday.

AOA is a media sponsor of this event.
