All The Kings Men (ATKM) is an award-winning, all female, character-based performance troupe that creates wholly electrifying cabaret-style and modern vaudevillian productions. Since April of 2002, ATKM has been bringing their unique brand of entertainment from Boston to hundreds of venues across the United States and internationally. Their ever-changing show features a troupe of six prolific artists who collectively play between thirty and fifty gender bending characters per performance. Incorporating pop-cultural satire, dance, scene work, storytelling, socio-political commentary, burlesque, multi-media, comedy and drama, All The Kings Men seek to create unique experiences that excite, engage, educate and entertain.
In 2004 All The Kings Men were named the Boston Phoenix’s “Best Kept Secret”. Two years later they were named one of ten nationwide winners of Curve Magazine’s “Best Lesbian Theater” award and have been featured in their magazine. Since then they have been nominated for a host of other awards and recognitions nationwide including this year’s newest Boston Phoenix category, “Best Sexy Dance Troupe”.
In 2010, the documentary on ATKM by Planted Seeds Productions awaits its premiere. An intimate look at identity, sexuality, love, and performance art, Play in the Gray shakes the foundation of gender stereotypes by exploring the work and personal lives of this groundbreaking troupe.
