To Our Beloved Fans,
LOTS of exciting has been going on here lately! We just arrived home after a quite amazing show in York, PA where we performed in a magnificent theater and met many new wonderful people. We were nominated to compete in a brand spanking new category in The Boston Phoenix's annual BEST OF Contest. AND we found out we were accepted to go to a theater festival in London this March! Wheew. Oh, and we also have a new local performance date in town, which we promised we'd let you know about as soon as we found out! So yes, a lot to tell you about this month! Read on for the deets...
Love + Dark Chocolate Kisses,
All The Kings Memories

(2) We've been NOMINATED!!!
We've been nominated in The Boston Phoenix BEST OF Contest's newest category- BEST DANCE TROUPE, SEXY----HOORAY!
Back in 2004 we won "Best Kept Secret" and now that secret is fully out of the bag. We've been around. We've entertained hundreds of varied audiences from the True Colors Conferences for GLBTQ youth to Pride goers in Toronto, and from the Stellar Adler Theater in LA and to the Art House every Memorial Day Weekend and Women's Week for the past 5 plus years (and counting) in Provincetown!
Yup, we've been around for years but have found it difficult to win in the limited categories offered up... until now!
Please VOTE All The Kings Men as "Best Dance Troupe-SEXY" in The Boston Phoenix Reader's Poll! You can vote no matter where in the country you live, and you can make this happen every day!
