THEATER If you want to see out loud and proud live theater, then get up-close and personal with the queer performances at the Philadelphia Gay & Lesbian Theater Festival, celebrating five years with a bang! Productions in the past have never been disappointing. I’m particularly interested in Tim Miller’s “Us” and hope to check out as many as I can before the end of the month. The festival is happening right now through June 30.

Us, written and acted by well-known performance artist Tim Miller, looks to be a social commentary on homophobia presented with fierce and funny childhood memories of Broadway musical numbers. Two nights only! June 24 and 25 at 7pm. Check out Tim's blog: http://timmillerperfomer.blogspot.com/
Heart & Music: An Evening with William Finn features a five-member cast performing songs from Falsettos, A New Brain and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee written by three-time Tony-award winning composer William Finn.
The Importance of Being Earnest looks to be an anything-goes re-imagining of Oscar Wilde’s witty play with absurd characters and outrageous situations.
Iron Kisses by James Still provides a “heartfelt, contemporary look at the changing relationships between parents and children and the emotional ties that hold them together.”
Theater District by Richard Kramer, a moving play examining coming out, self acceptance, and love.
Staged Reading of Gay & Lesbian Grimms Gay Grimms, a new musical by Dan Martin (music), Michael Biello (lyrics), and Ted Sod (book) tells the story of Jackie and Leon, the Cousins Grimm, adapting their ancestors’ beloved stories and adding a queer sensibility to them. 6/23 at 8pm - One Night Only!
