Within a few years of its publication, two plays – one in the United States and one in France – were produced based on Carnival Strippers. Ricardo E. Velez directed the Everyman Company of Brooklyn, New York, in a production of Strippers in May 1977. (A different production, titled Strip et Boniment, was directed by Judith DePaule for the company Sentimental Bourreau and performed in Paris and Nancy, France, in 1991.)
