Chloe Troast To Write & Star In PEPPER SLIT: LIVE IN HER LIVING ROOM This Summer Off-Broadway

It was announced today that SNL alum Chloe Troast will write and star in the new theatrical experience Pepper Slit: Live In Her Living Room directed by comedian Sam Blumenfeld. This four week engagement will begin performances at the East Village Basement on Tuesday, July 21 with an opening night set for Thursday, July 30. 

The cast for PEPPER SLIT will include Sam Blumenfeld, Tej Khanna, Gus Laughlin, Jamie Linn Watson, and music director Charlie O’Connor. Surprise special guests will be announced shortly. 

Pepper Slit’s theatrical experience blends music, nostalgia, and delusion into an unforgettable comedy spectacle. Each night, only 35 guests are invited to the stage and screen legend, Pepper Slit’s personal home to experience a night of party and performance that New Yorkers thought was outlawed back in ‘71.

"’Pepper’ is a woman that lives inside me and has probably lived there my whole life. At age 11, my favorite Broadway show was Follies – a classic preteen tale about the decay of female beauty and fading fame within an unscrupulous industry of vaudeville and burlesque. I was obsessed with Liza, Bernadette, Elaine Stritch, Carol Burnett, Eartha Kitt, Little Edie, Cher. Divas of stage and screen. ‘Pepper’ is an amalgamation of all these things plus a newborn baby. She has been everywhere, done everything, is wistful, entitled, crass, yet somehow innocent. She is a live wire and an open wound with an enormous story to tell,” said Troast. 

The design team for PEPPER SLIT: Live in Her Living Room features Rodri Hernandez Mtz. (scenic design), Cha See (lighting design), Brandon Bulls (sound design), Ricky Reynoso (costume design), and Cass Fawcett (production stage manager). Regular People serve as general managers for the production and marketing and advertising services.
