Truth Serum Productions has been producing shows since 1994-ish. We started out doing indie rock shows and then starting mish mashing other stuff in. It's a long history I'll have to write out some time. In the mean time you can hit our website for more info. Check the photos section of the website for shows that we've done. It serves as our visual history and lists shows prior to our getting on the digital camera tip. The press section tells another part of the story also.

"Working for a Song" Boston Herald June 22, 2006 DIY promoters brought the Arcade Fire to Boston way before bloggers deified the band and Le Tigre to the Milky Way years before it headlined the Roxy..."I want to work with the new energy that's out there," said Aliza Shapiro, whose Truth Serum Productions stages both straight-up music shows (that Le Tigre gig) and burlesque performances. "it's not that I specifically seek this stuff out. It's just what I'm interested in."

"Boston's dearth of gay stand-up is no laughing matter" Boston Globe September 23, 2005 "Gay men and women have traditionally not been part of [stand-up in Boston]," says Loren King, arts editor of Bay Windows. "Although I think a scene could easily develop, it seems we're being served just fine by groups such as the Theater Offensive, and some of the more out-there drag king and queen shows put on by [promoter] Aliza Shapiro."

Featured in a Edge Cover Story in The Boston Herald check out my site to read it.

Awarded Improper Bostonian's "Boston's Best Independent Production Company 2005"!

Bay Windows April 28, 2005 "...Wreckage, likely the most surreal event Boston has to offer, remains a must see, where creativity and eccentricity rule the night."

Awarded Stuff @Night’s ‘Nightlife Player’s’ list April 2004 "Aliza Shapiro of Truth Serum Productions holds the kind of events that spank stodgy old Boston firmly in the posterior with their edgy, often gender-bending creativity. Shapiro, along with her drag alter-ego Heywood Wakefield, makes it happen.”

In Newsweekly June 02, 2004 "Shapiro, the woman behind Glitter Switch, knows how to throw a party, so this should be one not to miss.”

Awarded Stuff @ Night’s ‘Hot 100’ August 17, 2004 "...some of the hottest drag acts around are drag kings. Gender-bending ladies can be seen at Hollywood KTV’s "Glitter Switch: Drag Karaoke" each month, and at Jacques for Monday night’s "TraniWreck." Believe it or not, "Glitter Switch" is fast becoming a hot spot for bachelorette parties."

Awarded Boston Magazine ‘The Hot List’ September 2003 Boston Herald November 25, 2002 Featured in an article and on the cover.

Boston Magazine November 2002 Featured in an article.
