Trodding the Boards June 16, 2020

June 17, 2020 By Brian Sands

“Uncle” Wayne Daigrepont at Andrea’s Restaurant on June 19 When Jefferson Parish moved into Phase 2, live entertainment began to make a comeback. And what a pleasure it was recently to head out to Andrea’s Restaurant (3100 19th St., Metairie) to enjoy the music and esprit of the ridiculously talented Wayne Daigrepont. With impish humor, “Uncle” Wayne, as he’s known around … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards June 16, 2020

LGBTQ Horoscopes June 16-29, 2020

June 15, 2020 By Dan Beck

Where were you the last week of April? That is the question being asked of you this summer solstice, the longest day of the year. This inquiry is triggered by a concurring solar eclipse and celestially activates that point in the sky. In astrology, as in life, we can look back to points in space and time, and reevaluate them to see what was going on, for better or worse. … [Read more...] about LGBTQ Horoscopes June 16-29, 2020

Larry Kramer and Acting Up in New Orleans

June 7, 2020 By Frank Perez

I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard Larry Kramer’s name: my friend Eddie’s deathbed in an AIDS hospice in Wichita, Kansas. I was working as a bartender at the time and Eddie was in construction.  We, along with a few other guys, were sharing a house, and Eddie & I had become the best of friends.  He was positive when I met him and seemed healthy as a … [Read more...] about Larry Kramer and Acting Up in New Orleans

Jeremy Jordan will be appearing in The Seth Concert Series

NOLA’s Theater Scene I really, really, really, really wish I could tell you that curtains will momentarily be going up around town. But that would be fake news and there’s enough of that out there already (Hydroxychloroquine or bleach anybody?) Instead, if you’d like to see local entertainers, there are a number of opportunities online. Here are some of … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards June 2, 2020

LGBTQ Horoscopes June 2-15, 2020

June 2, 2020 By Dan Beck

Y’all have been reading this column since its inception last August. Inceptions are important, as they are the beginning of something *hopefully* special. I’ve always written this column with the intent to entreat you, dear reader, to stop, observe the moment in which you find yourself, and participate in a ritual with your horoscope.  This is not much different from … [Read more...] about LGBTQ Horoscopes June 2-15, 2020

Kicking ASS with Tez Anderson: An Interview

June 2, 2020 By Jim Meadows

Tez Anderson has been an advocate for gay rights and HIV survivors since the 1980s, and he went public about his HIV status decades before it became routine to do so. He has written for Time, co-written a screenplay with Armistead Maupin, and was a creative consultant for the original Tales of the City television mini-series. Sir Ian McKellen has personally credited Tez with … [Read more...] about Kicking ASS with Tez Anderson: An Interview

May 23, 2020 By Brian Sands

Les Misérables, or The Sun’ll Come Out Tomorrow? How much have things changed in the past two months since everything shut down? Well, depending on who you are or what you’re asking about, a lot or a little. For, as some places begin to reopen, alas for live theater, it’s turning into a hard knock life. (Hmmm...two Annie references already, more than I’ve probably made … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards May 19, 2020

The Archbishop, Sissies in Struggle, and Gay Pride

May 21, 2020 By Frank Perez

In 1978, the Pink Triangle Alliance hosted the first Gay Pride rally ever held in New Orleans. The Pink Triangle Alliance was the public face/political name of the Louisiana Sissies in Struggle, a group that came out of the Mulberry House Collective in Fayetteville, Arkansas, when Dennis Williams, Dimid Hayer, Stacey Brotherlover, and Aurora relocated to New Orleans. The … [Read more...] about The Archbishop, Sissies in Struggle, and Gay Pride

LGBTQ Horoscopes May 19-June 1, 2020

May 18, 2020 By Dan Beck

Has the current state of affairs put a damper on your love life? If it hasn’t, shame on you!  But seriously, the need for romance combined with a moment that requires unprecedented social separation is an abiding concern. Being trapped at home is probably magnifying your pent up physical desires leading to feelings of imprisonment. Every cloud has a silver lining, and … [Read more...] about LGBTQ Horoscopes May 19-June 1, 2020

Clipping A Social Butterfly’s Wings

May 12, 2020 By Tony Leggio

Anthony Leggio at an October 2018 Event

Greetings from my humble abode that has also been my quarantine quarters for the past few weeks.  And, may I just say, screw this!   Seriously, some of my friends used to call me a social butterfly because I go out all the time.  I am not a butterfly, however; they are pretty and delicate and flitter about.  I am a social beast.  I love … [Read more...] about Clipping A Social Butterfly’s Wings
