Artistic Director Susan Feldman just sent this email about a new show at Dumbo’s St. Ann’s Warehouse starting in March:

If you saw the movie, Milk, you may recall the overwhelming joy and awakening that distinguished the early days of the Gay Liberation movement in San Francisco in the late 1960s.  At the same time, in Britain, Bette Bourne was discovering drag and fighting the same battles that became a worldwide movement. Now 70 years old, Bette and playwright Mark Ravenhill reminisce about an extraordinary life and an extraordinary time.

I first saw this lovely “conversation,” A Life in Three Acts, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last summer, and I was deeply moved by Bette’s story and his generosity in telling it. I felt privileged to hear about the trials and the triumphs, the pride and the small victories that built upon one another to create an historic struggle that continues today. I was struck by Bette’s humour, his strength and his humility, and I was entertained the whole time. Thank you so very much.

And now we’re pleased to welcome Bette and Mark to St. Ann’s Warehouse, where they will share it all with you.  The theater’s in the life, and the story in the telling.  How lucky are we. It begins March 4!
