John Waters Brings Filth to Fire Island Pines This August

The Pope of Trash is coming to Fire Island Pines with Tracy Turnblad in tow!

Promoter Daniel Nardicio announces that John Waters will bring his one-man show "This Filthy World" show to Whyte Hall in Fire Island Pines this summer. As a special attraction, Waters will be introduced by Ricki Lake, whose career was launched when Waters cast her as Tracy Turnblad in his 1988 comedy "Hairspray."

Visionary filmmaker and one-of-a-kind personality John Waters ("Serial Mom," "Pink Flamingos," "Polyester," "Female Trouble," and "Hairspray") is bringing his hit show John Waters: "This Filthy World: Filthier and Dirtier" to Fire Island's Whyte Hall. In it, Waters takes on taboo topics as only he can do in this hilarious and completely uncensored one-man show. 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 on Fire Island his origins in the trash genre.

The curtain rises on Waters in "This Filthy World" at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday August 6, at Whyte Hall in Fire Island Pines.
