The Nora’s That’s What She Said program presents Medusa Reclaimed, a timely myth of reparation, redemption, and reckoning where the world of gods and mortals is flipped upside down. This workshop directed by Eileen Little stirs Medusa’s voice in all of us with an active cast of 6 actors in multiple roles utilizing dialogue, movement, aerial theater, shadow puppetry by Norah Solorzano, and music by the band What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?.

Medusa Reclaimed premiered as an animated radio play with live music in a 2019 sold-out Summer run in the Charles Hayden Planetarium at Museum of Science, Boston. In 2021, the creative team was awarded a Boston Foundation LAB grant to further develop the play for Boston audiences. Learn more at MedusaReclaimed.com

QUEER CABARETS, the performance project that has grown from STONES TO RAINBOWS/GAY TO QUEER LIVES, the award winning  multi-media installation developed with LGBTQ+ voices from all points on the spectrum by Peter DiMuro/Public Displays of Motion, comes to the stage this coming Pride Month – June, 2022.

Live performers for QUEER CABARETS are all members of the Boston-region’s eclectic LGBTQ+ artist community – singers, comedians, dancers, poets and drag artists.

QUEER CABARETS will be presented with a rotating cast of intergenerational and intersectional performers that perform live  – cradled by an installation of previously recorded  multi-media interviews featuring area and national LGBTQ+ community members, ages 20’s to 70’s and from all points on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. Expect performances of stellar music, dance, spoken word, comedy and just downright fabulousness – can we say high-heeled pole-dancing meets Cole Porter? –  along with the funny and often poignant reflections on gay to queer lives over the span of 100 years.
