Seattle Strip Clubs: Last dance for the Lusty Lady: Play shows another side of the strip joint

The iconic strip club on First Avenue in Seattle remains shuttered after 27 years of exotic dances and peep shows.
But it looks like the Lusty Lady might have one more dance in her, this time at the Little Red Studio on Dexter Avenue North.
That’s where a play by John Longenbaugh and Ron Richardson will soon finish up a two-weekend run. “My Time With the Lady” tells a story many of the Lusty Lady’s patrons probably never considered — about the guy who mopped her floors.
That guy was Richardson.
For several years in the late ’80s and early ’90s, Richardson acted as a cashier, doorman, bouncer and janitor at the Lusty Lady. He made sure patrons obeyed the club’s rules, and he mopped the floors after peep shows were over.
Richardson’s time at the club coincided with a period of change along First Avenue. What was once a hub for topless bars and brothels was becoming more upscale and gentrified.
