PIN-UP
by Will Brumley

Private Industry Workshop
New York, NY
Monday, December 4

Pin-up focuses on housewife and mother turned USO pin-up Billie 'Babe' West and the trailblazing women she meets in career journey, including a vulgar underground Jewish comedienne (inspired by Belle Barth/Pearl Williams/Rusty Warren), a vivacious black chanteuse, and a tough-as-nails female wrestling champion. In addition, just as America is evolving out of Eisenhower politics and the repressive 1950s, Babe's daughter, Peggy, is coming of age as a radical 1960s feminist, who challenges her mother's profession and lifestyle.
