This just in...!

Jennifer Miller and Circus Amok will be performing this Tuesday! May 6th, at Galapagos, in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), NY.

Miller will join actress and peace activist, Janeane Garofalo, Lee Gough, of Military Families Speak Out, and John Kim, of Veterans for Peace, and others. Music provided by The Trachtenberg Family Slide Show Players, Danny Kelly and John Dyer, with sound & visual art by April Koester and DJ Andrew.

You lucky New Yorkers! I have wanted to meet Miller since seeing her in the film, "Juggling Gender," at the San Francisco Lesbian and Gay Film Festival in the early 1990's. To quote a promo for the film:

...Miller [is] a lesbian performer who lives her life with a full beard. Miller works as a performance artist, circus director, clown and as the "bearded lady" in one of the only remaining sideshows in America. In public she is often mistaken for a man, an experience she handles with the wit and intelligence that characterize her stage performances. Her lifestyle suggests the impossibility of defining anyone as truly feminine or masculine...

She is truly awesome!

The event is sponsored by Peace Williamsburg to raise funds for Madre, a feminist non-profit organization dedicated to building real alternatives to war and violence through a people-to-people exchange of direct relief and understanding.

Remember: Tuesday May 6. Galapagos, in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), NY, 80 N. 6th Street. Showtime: 7:30 - 11:00p.m. $8.

Be there!
