pantryslutFriday Night:
CLEARLY MARKED
by S. Bear Bergman
~three nights only!~
11-13 March at 8pm
(box office opens at 7:30)
A benefit for The Center For Sex and Culture
(www.centerforsexandculture.com)
398 11th St. (at Harrison), San Francisco
for more information: 415.255.1155
Friday & Saturday: $15-$25 sliding scale
Sunday: Pay What You Can
CLEARLY MARKED is a hilarious, high-impact, thought-provoking theater piece
that peels back the layers of the labels we all wear and digs in to what's
underneath. As Bergman's signature warm and accessible storytelling begins
to unfold on the stage, lines between categories start to blur and old
labels start to have new lives. Also unique is the loving examination of
Jewish tradition and community which Bergman - an observant Jew - brings to
the stage. In the revelation of a lifetime's worth of Bergman's accumulated
identities, CLEARLY MARKED opens up a place for anyone to be more
complicated than the label ze wears on top, and questions the society that
demands we wear so few.
Fearless as ever, with CLEARLY MARKED Bergman grapples with religion, body
image, gender, sexuality, and the perennial bathroom problem - not to
mention life as the Little Jewish Ambassador, how gender is like a highway,
being a fat kid, strategic lesbianism, gay marriage, and how to explain it
all to your Aunt Petunia in a way that doesn't completely freak her out. No
matter what label you wear when you arrive, CLEARLY MARKED will send you
home feeling both different from and connected to everyone around you - and
you'll like the feeling.

Saturday night:
Writers With Drinks!
Come see the only spoken word show that refuses to pick an orientation. We're attracted to comedy, poetry, erotica, literature and other genres, and we refuse to be genre-monogamous.
This time, we feature: literary author Susan Stinson (Venus of Chalk), journalist and essayist Gregory Dicum (Window Seat, Harper's Magazine), comedian and drag queen Ray Ferrer (Q Comedy), erotica writer Jess Arndt (Bottoms Up, On Our Backs) and poet Lisa Ortiz (Poesy, Split Verse). It all happens this Saturday, March 12, at the Make Out Room, 3225 22nd St. btw. Mission & Valencia, from 7:30 to 9:30 PM. And it's just $3 to $5 sliding scale! All proceeds benefit other magazine.
Sunday night:
I hear that Sunday is supposed to be a day of rest. Let's try it.
Monday night:
Happy Hour! 5:30 pm (I will be there at 5:15), Ginger's Trois, 246 Kearney @ Bush, downtown San Francisco. Previous attendees will attest that the bartender is a gentleman (even his wink at me last time was gentlemanly) and he pours heavy, too.
