Last Call’s play based on our New Orleans Dyke Bar research, Alleged Lesbian Activies, is coming to Boston, April 4, 5, 6, and 7. These performances will be done in partnership with The Theatre Offensive, and will feature new material derived from our Boston interviews. We thought, these interviews are so juicy - let’s do a podcast piece with them! We have stories of parties, fights, family, pickup and more. It’s a long one, so cozy in and enjoy
Many thanks to our interviewees Danny Harris, Yani Batteau, Shani Dowd, Sharon Pritchard, Marjorie Posner, Rochelle Ruthchild, Vicki Gabriner, Liz James, Lynn Brown, Pam Chamberlin, Helen Cratin, and Sweet Mykki B. They were so welcoming and so generous with their time, energy, and stories. We think you’re going to really enjoy listening to them.
