A Packed Weekend!
So in between rehearsing our all new material, some of the Femme Show’s overacheivers are performing all over Boston this weekend. Don’t miss these…..
Maggie and Havalah in Ten Tiny Shows this weekend, along with 8 other amazing queer women artists.
Ten Tiny Shows is an evening of ten, short, original multimedia works for the stage (all of which were either written specifically for or adapted for this project), each work ten minutes long and each work written and directed by a queer woman. Our writer-performers range in age from their twenties to their fifties and their experience (reflected in the work they will perform) ranges from: being an out queer woman in rural Kentucky in the 1970s, being a mixed-race young woman helping to clean up New Orleans after Katrina to being unable to make the first move on a date! Saturday, Sept. 19, 8:30 PM at the YMCA Theater 820 Mass. Ave., Central Square Cambridge, MA 02139 $14 advance price for tickets includes all fees. $16 at the door, but we will more than likely sell out.
One of our newest members, Adelaide Windsome with Riot Folk on Friday, September 18th (don’t be fooled by the date on the poster, it’s not Saturday):
And our friends at Big Moves are joined by several new Femme Show performers at their Pirate Cabaret: a revue-style Cabaret filled with pirate themed performances ranging from burlesque to hip hop, from comedy to performance art. Performers include: Big Moves, Babes in Boinkland, UnAmerika’s Sweetheart Karin Webb, 86-Years-Young Mary Dolan, Black Cat Burlesque, Honey Suckle Duvet, Brief Awakening, Madame Psychosis, Lolli Hoops, and special guest Tommy Toxic from Montreal!

Johnny Blazes’ wo(n)man show is an evening-length performance that blends cabaret arts with theater to create a charming semi-narrative series of vignettes. These vignettes are character-driven comedic moments that explore notions of gender and embodiment. Unseen forces seem to possess Blazes in this journey through a world that is constantly pressuring us to choose a gender, a persona, a stance. Utilizing a rich background in theater, clowning, drag, dance, opera and circus arts, Blazes fuses genres and expands notions of gender performativity, all while keeping the audience laughing.
