Artist stories

Local Artists and co-directors, Angela Blessing and Stephano Engle, and performer Michelle Milendez, were guests on KZSC Artists on Art to talk about this year’s “What is Erotic?”

“What is Erotic?” is a Santa Cruz tradition and the Hottest Valentines Date for the ninth year in a row, theatrical event with original performances of spoken word, dance, burlesque and more.

Always a gem, “What is Erotic?” traverses the lightness of love and pleasure and the depths of our own dark and hidden desires. Last year’s six-run show sold out. Be sure to get your tickets early at Brown Paper Tickets.

The 2014 Show Dates are February 7-9 and 14-16 at the 418 Project on 418 Front St. Santa Cruz, CA.  Friday and Saturday shows are at 8 pm, Sunday shows start at 7 pm.

Doors open 30 minutes early because this show often sells out.  Come early!  It’s a chance to get a good seat and you can enjoy the “Erotic Salon”, where costumed characters interact with audience (if you like).

All proceeds benefit The 418 Project, since 1993, “The Place to Move and Be Moved”, in downtown Santa Cruz.
