You can take the "gal" out of Galentine's Day, but wouldn't you rather take the gal out ON Galentine's Day? Preferably to Lez Beaus, a play festival celebrating lesbian love through the ages. Whether it's a time-honored tale of girl gets boi in the present, or a romance between members of an all-girls baseball league in the past, the gal pals, lady friends, and lover girls in the 12 short plays featured in the festival experience everything from connection to rejection, affection to reflection. Lez Beaus is presented by Violet Surprise, a queer feminist theatre company whose mission is to present new works that vibrantly and valiantly validate the identities of queer women.
Performance dates are: Friday, February 14, at 7:30pm / Saturday, February 15, at 7:30pm / Sunday, February 16, at 3:00pm.
Tickets are $12.
With Sapphrodite as the goddess of love, don't be surprised if lesbo and cupid's arrow hits you smack in the kisser.
