GLBT Performances at Out North

Out North offers several performances by or about gays and lesbians during the next few weeks. 

Joan Cullinane reprises her Under 30 performance of "Merrow" as a benefit for "Off the Rocks" this weekend. September's Poetry Parley features selected works by lesbian poet Adrienne Rich, read by local women. In late September, Bill Bowers visits Anchorage and Homer to perform "It Goes Without Saying," about growing up closeted in Montana, becoming a professional mime, and living through the AIDS crisis.

Tickets and information for the full 2008 season of live performances, the Global Lens, and the Manhattan Short Film Festival, are posted at Out North: VSA Arts of Alaska.
