Performer makes nude theatre purge pledge
Re: "Emotionally driven strippercise," by Jeff Kubik, Theatre, April 19-25, 2007.

"Even if her experience has already provided the basis for a lucrative strippercize side venture, she says simply that audiences hoping to find exploitative nudity are not going to find anything of the kind. ‘Go see One Yellow Rabbit if you want that,’ she says."

I want to thank Carrie Schiffler for generously shining a light on something dirty and ugly going on at One Yellow Rabbit and yes I am talking about exploitive nudity!

I was pretty darned angry to realize that these shameful exploitive practices were going on right under my nose and probably the whole time I have been working at One Yellow Rabbit in good faith. I pledge to lead a crusade that will continue to shine the light that Carrie has lit and I will not stop until I find every single person who is nakedly exploiting and being exploited here in the house of Rabbit. Thank God someone is making non-exploitive plays about being a stripper. Hats off to Carrie for leading the way in non-exploitive theatre making.

One Yellow Rabbit Theatre

PS Carrie could you email me some info on your strippercize classes.
