ALL THE KINGS MEN - Performance Troupe's Interests
General
"We are a world filled with such characters as Grandmothers, Heroes, Performers, High School Kids, Bar Flies, Strippers, and Office Assistants. We are artists who explore and exploit the grays in life. We stand together on a blank palette and paint pictures in a range of femininity and masculinity that resides in all of us. We build a stage not only to entertain but also to speak to and play with the humor in life, the absurdity and the magic in life. Our characters are empowered with material to say, feel, and experience; our characters are born to share. In these days, where the Queer community makes daily headlines and our discussion of human rights is once again revisited, All The Kings Men comes to the table with a point of view about humanity that is refreshing, base, fun, and bold." - ATKM
Music
All The Kings Men is sexy melt-in-your-mouth and through your seat performance with hilarious pee-your-pants-and-on-your-neighbor moments. Through lip-synched, choreographed and improvisational scene work, this troupe presents character-driven comedic, political, and purely entertaining theater. Their shows are a thought provoking homo/hetero/bi/a/pan-sexual snort-laughing fest.

ALL THE KINGS MEN (ATKM)
"The wildly popular, all-female, cabaret style, gender-bending performance troupe." [Curve Magazine]
All The Kings Men is an award winning, all female, physical theatre ensemble that has been performing original, cabaret style shows the past 7 years accross the US and internationally. They push the boundaries and explode the stereotypes of gender identity through comedic and dramatic story telling, set to music. They utilize physical theatre, dance, comedy, lip-synch and character based sketch work in their shows. ATKM is a comic and sexy modern day twist on Shakespeare, where women play all the roles. Through their masterful use of character, physical communication, dance, and theatrical convention they have transcended the conventional drag show and brought it to new levels.

Hi! I sent you some info on sending an audition packet to you so that you may share it with your venues--Your address was in my computer when it crashed :o( I had to buy a new motherboard ;o((...But all is well now, and I was wondering if I could get your mailing info and e-mail again so that I may send my audition packet out to you?
Are you all not coming to Boston's Pride Festival on June 13th? Every year I look forward to seeing your performances. I really hope you all go. If not to Boston then to atleast Providence's Pride.
You guys should do Montreal Pride in August! I'm going! Let me know if you need more images over the summer! I have 4 months of nothing but shooting! :)
Just an awesome show in Provincetown during Memorial Day weekend! Was worth the drive from Rhode Island and I think my gf can hear in her right ear now !
So i know its crazy expensive to perform here in LA....so I was thinking -
Pay for MY flight/stay in Boston to check out one of your shows! & you'll save SOOO much money compared to sending out an entire cast & I'll finally get to see you!
It was amazing seeing you guys at Lasell tonight! It was the best performance of any type I've ever seen in my life! I plan to go see you guys again as soon as I can, and I'm definitely going to bring friends who I know will immediately love you guys!
