...look at -- knockouts, a couple of them. They are also played by men. This twist gives the burlesque a wierd glow and cues some wonderfully precise writing and acting. Pageant, conceived and directed by Robert Longbottom, never degenerates into drag queens unchained. Like Miss Industrial Northeast (Joe Joyce), who roller-skates while playing the Sabre Dance on her accordion, the show is perfectly poised on the precipice of farce.

Most accidents involve first timers who have had little or no instruction. And though there is good protective gear available, a majority of bladers prefer to breeze along unpadded.
