Ladies at a Gay Girls’ Bar, 1938-1969

10 Fiske Ave 10 Fiske Avenue, Greenfield

Maggie Cee explores her years as a teenage gay rights activist, her own identity, and fem history. Masks are required for this event.“Ladies at a Gay Girl’s 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." Christopher Arnott, The Hartford Courant Ladies at a Gay Girls' Bar, 1938-1969 is a solo performance 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. 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.

Souls Of Mischief – 30 Years of 93 ‘Til Infinity

Hawks & Reed Ballroom 289 Main St., Greenfield

www.facebook.com/SoulsOfMischiefWith Brandie Blaze, Subtext, DOS and Dj Rec1993, West Coast–Dr Dre vs Eazy-E, Snoop Doggy Dog on the horizon with his debut album alongside the N.W.A don of production. Tupac with the summer release of ‘I Get Around’, but caught up in alleged gun fights and assault charges. G-funk the national conversation.So when Souls Of Mischief came onto the scene with their funky outfits, slammin’ beats and breazy attitudes-backed with a lyrical dexterity far beyond their teenage years–a fresh hop to the bounce of the West Coast was born. “Sometimes it gets a little hectic out there...”, Tajai exclaimed in the intro, “...But right now we gonna up you on how we just chill”. The California quartet announced themselves with harmlessly refreshing confidence, on more of a Tribe tip with jazz-drips and groove-infused rhythms–yet lyrically more adventurous and weed-scented; more of a Pharcyde vibe with endlessly cool rhymes and multisyllabic wordplays-yet more intellectual, energetic and freestyle-ready. A funky introspection was clear to see. This was Oakland, California in 1993....Now,30 years on, 93 to 23, still infinity. Still hectic out there.
