I’m thinking of officially re-naming November “Last-Minute-Gig Month.” Either that or “You-Only-Need-To-Sleep-Once-A-Week Month.” I’ve been working with The Theater Offensive for the past three weeks, publicizing their phenomenal Out on the Edge Queer Theater Festival, and adding gigs left and right. Here’s the newest addition:
I’m joining forces with the fabulous folks of The Tranny Roadshow to perform at Sarah Lawrence this Sunday! I’ll be joining Jamez Terry, Samantha Buchanan, Red Durkin, Ignacio Rivera, BOI Sha, and my darling friend Kit Yan. If you are in the area or are a Sarah Lawrence student, staff or faculty member, please come out!
The Tranny Roadshow
Sunday November 15 at 2 pm
Reisinger Hall, Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville NY
Free, all ages
| The Tranny Roadshow is a multimedia performance art extravaganza. It is composed of an eclectic group of artists, each one self-identified as transgender, and includes poets, rappers, filmmakers, storytellers, breakdancers, rock bands, comedians, actors, folk singers, photographers, zinesters, and more. Stationary art (i.e. photography and sculpture) is displayed, but most of the presentation is the live show, a unique variety show where the expression of gender and the expression of self are inseparable. The show is a fluid entity, changing to suit the artists and the crowd, but always it is full of intelligence, fun and humor.Although the Tranny Roadshow is done entirely by transpeople, it is not exclusively for transpeople. It is a raucous evening of entertainment, open and accessible to people of all backgrounds. Most of us are experienced performers, and while our goals do include challenging people and making them think, our most important goals are to entertain them, make them laugh, and make them dance. |
