After a sold-out performance in May, Ilene Sameth reprises her one-woman show “Bandwidth: The Ups & Downs of a Lesbian Diva” at Dixon Place, 161-A Chrystie Street (between Rivington and Delancey Streets) on Tuesday, July 11 at 7:30 p.m..
It’s part of Dixon Place’s “HOT! Festival: The NYC Celebration of Queer Culture” held July 5-August 4.

Tickets are $15; students, seniors, and IDNYC cardholders, $12.
