I was a little girl who loved books, ballet, tutus and sparkles. When I came out as a lesbian at age 13, I had a lot to grapple with, including late 1990s homophobia, the movement for civil unions (this was before we said “marriage”), and my own femininity. My teenage character in the show turns to books for answers, and learns about an important piece of LGBTQ history that shapes her identity for years to come.
Back for a third year at the Red Room during Women’s Week, "Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar, 1938-1969” combines humor, original monologues, and dance.
“Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar, 1938-1969” was chosen as one of Time Out New York's "Best Pride Events 2024" and included in the New York Times Pride round up in June of 2024. Theatre critic Christopher Arnott called it a "major highlight" of the Hartford (Connecticut, USA) Fringe Festival, saying: “Ladies at a Gay Girls’ Bar, 1938-1969 sweetly explored the femme/butch dichotomy in lesbian bars over half a century ago. Cee is a graceful, down-to-earth performer who’s passionate about her subject and tells it through dance, pre-recorded voices, oral histories, fictional characters and well-chosen music."
