Femme Show Summer Tour Kickstarter

johnny — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 15:02:24 +0000

2011 marks the second annual East Coast Femmepire Summer tour! The mission of this tour is to bring moving and innovative queer art beyond the bounds of New England. The Femme Show is a revue of smart, sexy, interactive performance about queer femme identity that features film, dance, literary readings, burlesque, drag, and performance art from award winning artists. The Femme Show summer tour serves as a platform for queer artists to expand the reach of their work and gives audiences the chance to experience a show that’s explicitly queer and bombastically feminine!

We’re fundraising to fuel the FEMME MOBILES! Our goal is to raise $1400 to cover the costs of two cars full of femmes and friends. We’re playing: PORTLAND, ALBANY, NYC, PITTSBURGH, PHILLY, and BALTIMORE. Your support enables us to play affordable shows AND pay artists!
