Trodding the Boards September 5, 2024

September 5, 2024 By Brian Sands

2024 Critics’ Choice Gay Appreciation Award winner On behalf of Tony Leggio and myself, I am delighted to announce that the winner of this year’s Critics’ Choice Gay Appreciation Award (GAA) is The NOLA Project's production of Dracula, Pete McElligott's fiercely intelligent adaptation of Bram Stoker's gothic-horror story. The award was presented as part of the 34th Gay … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards September 5, 2024

Ambush on the Road

August 21, 2024 By Tony Leggio

A Gay in the Vineyard Hemingway once said, “Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world.”  I have to agree with him, especially after my recent trip to Sonoma, California.   My adventure in wine country was part of my fabulous friend Terri’s milestone birthday celebration.  Of course, milestone birthdays occur when your age has a zero behind … [Read more...] about Ambush on the Road

Bartender of The Month- August 2024

August 20, 2024 By Tony Leggio

My fabulous Bartender of the Month needs no introduction. He is a cornerstone of our city.  His infectious smile lights up a room whether it is him or his sassy sister Felicia Phillips.  I am talking about none other than Philip Anthony who works at the Corner Pocket. I am honored to call him friend and to have been his co-Grand Marshal of Southern Decadence 2016, along with … [Read more...] about Bartender of The Month- August 2024

Trodding the Boards August 16, 2024

August 16, 2024 By Brian Sands

New in New York I rarely, if ever, begin a column with an exhortation to those who are in NYC or will be there before September 8, but here goes: Run, scamper or do whatever it takes to get a ticket to CATS: The Jellicle Ball, the most brilliant, exciting, magical “new” show in New York! It will take you to the Heaviside layer of musical theater!! Okay, a little … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards August 16, 2024

August 8, 2024 By Brian Sands

A Streetcar Named Desire at Marigny Opera House thru August 24 Shortly after I saw The Tennessee Williams Theatre Company of New Orleans’ (TWTC) production of A Streetcar Named Desire, I (and presumably the rest of the audience) received an email which said: We are aware of a first time technical glitch that happened tonight at the top of Act 2. One of our show operation … [Read more...] about Trodding the Boards August 8, 2024

A Brief History of the Gay Appreciation Awards

August 5, 2024 By Frank Perez

In 1987, New Orleans entertainer Marcy Marcell’s career was in a slump. Her career had begun nineteen years earlier and by the mid-1980s, Marcell had established herself as a drag performer, having performed in gay bars throughout the French Quarter since the early 1970s. Although she grew up in New Orleans, her first job as a performer was at an underground club in Chicago … [Read more...] about A Brief History of the Gay Appreciation Awards

Bartender Spotlight – July 2024

July 22, 2024 By Tony Leggio

I love hearing stories about people who come to NOLA for a certain reason, fall in love with the city, and end up returning or staying.   That is certainly true of July’s Bartender of the Month Sam Stone (what a great soap opera name) of the Bourbon Pub and Parade. He’s from Denver, Colorado, and moved to New Orleans in 2010 to attend Tulane graduating in 2014 with … [Read more...] about Bartender Spotlight – July 2024
