"[My nephew] Turner and I were reminiscing about all of the years we'd spent with red lips, stuffed boobs, big hair, and big heels at [family talent shows], when he said, 'You know, Uncle John, I'm straight, and if you think about all the times when I was a kid that I've been dressed up in women's clothing and made to sing and dance, I've got to be proof that you can't turn someone gay.'" - John Barrowman, ANYTHING GOES Also...

 Nikita Schoen's LEFT-HANDED DARLING is set in the rural 1930's American "Dust Bowl era" and centers on Calliope Darling, a young girl with a very unusual upbringing and a unique sense of beauty. Have her very unlikely parents prepared her well for the world? Calliope and the audience are transported from the macabre environment of her family's home to the surreality of a carnival sideshow, an equally bizarre court room, and more strange sights and sounds than the many many books she has read in her young life could prepare her for. With creative staging, a versatile cast, theatrical puppetry, original music, and a lot of mason jars, LEFT-HANDED DARLING will thrill you, surprise you, make you laugh and transport you back to a colorful era when Vaudeville ruled and a nickel was really worth something. If you're in the Bay Area, you should come see LEFT-HANDED DARLING, because it's a wonderfully imaginative, highly entertaining play. (If you're not in the Bay Area, but would like to support this play and Foul Play Productions' New Writers' Program, you can donate to their Kickstarter project.)

Junkstock is a free, family-friendly event that's held every summer in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. This year, it's taking place on Saturday, July 23, from approximately noon to 3 p.m. in Golden Gate Park's Lindley Meadow. The Junkstock Mission: No matter how much money or how much musical training you have, you can be a musician. We strive to shatter the myth that creating music is an elite pursuit; whether you play a plastic bucket or a thousand dollar guitar, expressing yourself and your soul through sound is what it's all about. We want all who attend Junkstock to leave empowered by the fact that they can play an instrument, whether it’s a voice, a guitar or a tuna can. The event features an acoustic stage with great performers who encompass the vision that instruments, composition and performance come from, sometimes, unexpected places. Also included in the day are free workshops which teach you to make your make items from your recycling bin as well as household and hardware store items sing (or clank whatever the case may be)! Bring blankets and low chairs to sit on, food, beverages, instruments, and anything you can bang on or shake to make music. Photos from the Junkstock I and II can be found here. Below is a snippet of the all-band jam which closed out the first Junkstock in 2009. (Which reminds me, I still need to learn how to do the cup dance.) Tags: public_entries
