A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MISS SAMMY follows Orlando’s most beloved drag icon as she swans through The City Beautiful, to her own soundtrack in Marcy’s fabulous costumes, on a drunken sex-capade at many of its notable locations including: The Parliament House, Theatre Downtown, The Spa of Thornton Park, WildSide BBQ, Downtown Consignment and Gary Lambert Salon in Winter Park, and a wine party with nuns at Mary Queen of the Universe Shrine!
The film won the “Best Short Film” award at the Tampa Bay Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, was an “Official Selection” in the Fire Island Film Festival, and was a Patron’s Pick at the Orlando Fringe Festival in 2005
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MISS SAMMY, first presented at Pulse Nightclub then at the Orlando Fringe Festival in 2005 and making the rounds at film festivals, was written by award-winning Fringe veteran Michael Wanzie (It All Happened at the Radisson Inn, Ladies of Eola Heights, The Lion Queen, Monorail Inferno, Wanzie with a Z), directed by Jason Piekarski of Lantern Light Studios and Michael Wanzie, starring Broadway star and beloved friend Sam Singhaus with costumes by the legendary Marcy Singhaus.
This short film is an homage to, and celebration of, one-of-a-kinds Sam Singhaus and Marcy Singhaus who both passed months apart over this last year but who have left an indelible mark on our entertainment community and in our hearts.
Kangagirl Productions is honored to present this wonderful short film as part of the online DigiFringe Festival produced by the Orlando Fringe Festival. Wanzie and Jason Piekarski along with Jason’s partner in life and co-producer, Brien Birkmire, have waived their royalties for Kangagirl to present the film
Proceeds go to benefit the Greater Orlando Performing Arts Relief (GOPAR) fund which provides assistance during challenging times to individuals throughout Greater Orlando who typically derive income from the performing arts and/or theme park entertainment sectors. gopar.org
