“Ladies at a Gay Girls' Bar, 1938-1969” is  a solo piece by Maggie Cee that  imagines and explores the queer past and passions between people who loved, fought, and created space to be themselves out of sheer necessity and determination.  

The Hartford Courant's Christopher Arnott called it a "major highlight" of the Hartford Fringe Festival, saying:  

"'Ladies at a Gay Girl’s Bar: 1938-1969,' written and performed by Maggie Cee, 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 jazz music that softens standards like 'Tuxedo Junction' and 'Que Sera Sera.'"

Picture
Maggie Cee explores her years as a teenage gay rights activist, her own identity, and  fem history - illuminating the feminine women whose stories are too often forgotten, but whose strength and determination made the gay girls’ bars come alive.

Because not all stories are recorded equally, this piece seeks to go beyond the archive, connecting the dots to explore the emotional heart of fem history.

​The piece is made possible by support from the New England Dance Fund of the New England Foundation for the Arts and a residency at  EarthDance Creative Living. See the blog to read more about the piece and process.

Fee support for this production may be available to nonprofit organizations through the New England States Touring (NEST) program of the New England Foundation for the Arts. Visit www.nefa.org for more information.
