It just keeps getting better! Hedda Lettuce, drag comedienne from New York City's premiere comedy club Caroline's, will perform at the Renegade for a limited engagement. The unique character, originated by Steve Polito, uses her own voice and originality to create hilarious stories out of mundane situations. Hedda, given the title "Queen of comedy" by her audience, has landed rolls on hit television shows such as Sex and The City, Comedy Central, MTV and The People's Court. So make your reservations now for one or all four shows before Hedda heads back to Broadway. The scheduled dates are Sunday, August 13 and Thursday, Friday and Sunday, August 17, 18, and 20 at 10 p.m. A Star Is Born. Christopher Peterson will take his ruby slipper on the road this month to play a part in the new movie Rat Race. The film, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Alexander, John Cleese, Kathy Najimy and Cuba Gooding Jr. is a remake of the 1963 comedy It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. Christopher plays one of 30 Lucy's on their way to a convention in Las Vegas when their bus breaks down. With this cast, the movie's sure to be an enormous hit. Hurry back Chris, we'll miss you. Congratulations to Randy Pologruto and Dave Rockot who celebrated their 4 year anniversary at the Renegade. They were joined by friends Gary Yorio and Jamey Redinger, who treated them to dinner and the Chris Peterson show. Afterwards, they danced to the sounds of DJ Jeff Harrison while enjoying the psychedelic light extravaganza by Tom Ducham. The couple are planning a celebration of their lives together with a ceremony in July 2001. Follow the bubbles to La La Land, and your hosts Jeff and Rosie Brady will take you on a culinary adventure through a romantic paradise. After dinner stroll out back to their exotic Bamboo bar where Dave Engel, popular mixologist, will whip up your favorite cocktail. It's the perfect atmosphere to relax while listening to good music with friends. Familiar faces who arrived late Saturday night were Kevin Reading and Kelly Reader (Espuma), Joey Talley and Kenny LeCates (Confettis), artist Craig Gillespie, Lori Kline (Lori's Caf), Karen (Geb) Gebhart, Val Gingko, Penny McAffrey (Lambda Rising), and Debbie Smith, to name a few. La La Land is located at 22 Wilmington Avenue. Nassau Gallery's reception for artist Thom Millsap had an incredible turn out. Crowds gathered outside the 176 Rehoboth Avenue location to see Thom paint his latest creation "Island Hideaway." Millsap originals such as "Sunlit Porch," and "Harbor View" were on display. The gallery, known for its quality custom framing, also carries a wide selection of fine art, unique furniture, and accessories. Legends and Lore and The Players Club present Music Showcase, an evening combined with art, music, and conversation. Three shows will take place each Saturday at 6, 8, and 10 p.m. with live performances of original music. During intermissions there will be refreshments available while you view the exhibits. Regina Aamacha, owner of the gallery, will perform Saturday, August 19. Call 226-1693 for details. The Beach House restaurant will host the next CAMP Rehoboth Community Center Project Tea Dance on Sunday, August 13 from 5 - 8 p.m. The dance will be followed with a performance by the singing group "One Love" who will appear each Sunday in August.
