Save the Date: Male thespians take famous Streep roles to the stage

Streep_PradaIf you live in L.A. and aren’t doing anything on Saturday, September 5, I’ve found a way for you to indulge your inner Meryl Streep fanatic while going to the theater at the same time.

All you have to do is head over to bang.studio and check out “Streep Tease” an evening of monologues by Meryl Streep as delivered by men.

As noted in Variety, the eight performers—Roy Cruz (also the show’s producer) Taylor Negron, Sam Pancake, Steve Hasley, David Dean Bottrell, Eddie Sanchez, Mike Rose and Trent Walker—are putting on the show because not only do they love the Academy Award-winning actress’s work, they’re also honoring the directors and writers who worked with her.

The best part of all is that even if you don’t live in California, you can still check out the performance that starts at 8:00 pm Pacific via the show’s webcam and chat room.
