SUMMARY:Mae West and the Trial of Sex
DESCRIPTION:Walking Shadow Theatre Company presents\n\nMae West and the Trial of Sex\n\nby John Heimbuch\ndirected by Allison Vincent\n\nat Crane Theater\nMay 31- June 22\, 2025\nExtra! Extra! Provocative Playwright Mae West Runs Afoul of Broadway Censors\, Her Popular Play SEX Raided for Obscenity. Tammany Hall claims it was necessary to prevent West’s new homosexual drama\, THE DRAG\, from corrupting the youth of New York. The sultry starlet faces time in the slammer if she doesn’t amend her immoral ways and stop SEX at once! \nMae West and the Trial of Sex draws from court documents\, newspapers\, and West’s own plays to explore the overt sexuality and curious queerness of her rise to fame. Playwright John Heimbuch uses Mae West’s legal battle over censorship to show how queer representation became criminalized on stage and screen\, cutting LGBTQIA+ people off from their past. \nBefore she was an icon of the silver screen\, Mae West was a Broadway actress and playwright (under the name Jane Mast). In early 1927\, while performing in her long-running melodrama\, Sex\, about a Montreal sex worker\, West was developing a new play about Greenwich Village queer culture called The Drag. This play had a sympathetic view of homosexuality\, and included a large-scale drag ball onstage\, which worried the New York press and police. West became the target of a media campaign to clean up Broadway\, culminating in a police raid of Sex. The resulting obscenity trial resulted in the closing of Sex and The Drag\, ten days in jail for Mae West\, and a new censorship law that prevented queer characters from appearing in the American theatre for the next 40 years. \nTicket Prices:\nTickets are pick-your-price: $30 – $70.\nTicket sales only cover a portion of what it actually costs to present our plays.\nFor ticket sales to completely cover our production expenses\, a ticket would cost $50. \nYou choose your price! If you are able to pay the true cost of $50\, we ask you to do so. Or\, pay as little as $30\, or choose a more generous amount and help support our accessible ticket program. A limited number of $15 Economic Accessibility tickets are available starting one month before the performance date\, for anyone who needs to pay less\, no questions asked. Limit 2 per order. Student tickets are FREE. Limit 2 per order. Available starting one month before the performance date. \nAll seating is general admission\, though we’re happy to make accommodations or handle special seating requests. \nAccessibility:\nCrane Theater is wheelchair accessible. \nASL interpreted on Saturday\, June 14 at 7:30pm by Nella Titus (NIC) and Maria Dively (NIC)\nAudio Described on Sunday\, June 15 at 2:00pm by Elana Centor. \nContent Advisory:\nThis show is recommended for ages 16+ and includes adult language and dated references to homosexuality. \nHealth and Safety:\nWe do not currently require proof of Covid vaccination or masking.

SUMMARY:Mae West and the Trial of Sex
DESCRIPTION:Walking Shadow Theatre Company presents\n\n\n\nMae West and the Trial of Sex\n\nby John Heimbuch\ndirected by Allison Vincent\n\nat Crane Theater\nMay 31- June 22\, 2025\nExtra! Extra! Provocative Playwright Mae West Runs Afoul of Broadway Censors\, Her Popular Play SEX Raided for Obscenity. Tammany Hall claims it was necessary to prevent West’s new homosexual drama\, THE DRAG\, from corrupting the youth of New York. The sultry starlet faces time in the slammer if she doesn’t amend her immoral ways and stop SEX at once! \nMae West and the Trial of Sex draws from court documents\, newspapers\, and West’s own plays to explore the overt sexuality and curious queerness of her rise to fame. Playwright John Heimbuch uses Mae West’s legal battle over censorship to show how queer representation became criminalized on stage and screen\, cutting LGBTQIA+ people off from their past. \nBefore she was an icon of the silver screen\, Mae West was a Broadway actress and playwright (under the name Jane Mast). In early 1927\, while performing in her long-running melodrama\, Sex\, about a Montreal sex worker\, West was developing a new play about Greenwich Village queer culture called The Drag. This play had a sympathetic view of homosexuality\, and included a large-scale drag ball onstage\, which worried the New York press and police. West became the target of a media campaign to clean up Broadway\, culminating in a police raid of Sex. The resulting obscenity trial resulted in the closing of Sex and The Drag\, ten days in jail for Mae West\, and a new censorship law that prevented queer characters from appearing in the American theatre for the next 40 years. \nTicket Prices:\nTickets are pick-your-price: $30 – $70.\nTicket sales only cover a portion of what it actually costs to present our plays.\nFor ticket sales to completely cover our production expenses\, a ticket would cost $50. \nYou choose your price! If you are able to pay the true cost of $50\, we ask you to do so. Or\, pay as little as $30\, or choose a more generous amount and help support our accessible ticket program. A limited number of $15 Economic Accessibility tickets are available starting one month before the performance date\, for anyone who needs to pay less\, no questions asked. Limit 2 per order. Student tickets are FREE. Limit 2 per order. Available starting one month before the performance date. \nAll seating is general admission\, though we’re happy to make accommodations or handle special seating requests. \nAccessibility:\nCrane Theater is wheelchair accessible. \nASL interpreted on Saturday\, June 14 at 7:30pm by Nella Titus (NIC) and Maria Dively (NIC)\nAudio Described on Sunday\, June 15 at 2:00pm by Elana Centor. \nContent Advisory:\nThis show is recommended for ages 16+ and includes adult language and dated references to homosexuality. \nHealth and Safety:\nWe do not currently require proof of Covid vaccination or masking.

SUMMARY:Sabbath Queen
DESCRIPTION:One Night Only • Tuesday\, June 3 at 7:00pm\nPost-screening Q&A with Director Sandi DuBowski \nABOUT THE FILM\nSabbath Queen\, a feature documentary filmed over 21 years\, follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie’s epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becomes a drag-queen rebel\, a queer bio-dad and the founder of Lab/Shul—an everybody-friendly\, God-optional\, artist-driven\, pop-up experimental congregation. \nSabbath Queen joins Amichai on a lifelong quest to creatively and radically reinvent religion and ritual\, challenge patriarchy and supremacy\, champion interfaith love\, and stand up for peace\, ceasefire\, and an end to the Occupation in Israel/Palestine. The film interrogates what Jewish survival means in a difficult rapidly changing 21st century.

SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Present Tense: A pop-up style gallery show amplifying Queer Artists of Minnesota
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition is not curated in the traditional sense. Instead we are opening our gallery walls for queer artists to share what feels most present and vital right now; through painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, ceramics\, textile work\, or wearable art. Whether rooted in protest\, joy\, grief\, intimacy\, or self-expression\, we welcome bold visual storytelling and authentic perspectives.  \nNot every piece needs to be rainbows and resistance\, but they certainly can be. We believe Present Tense will offer a powerful snapshot of what it means to live\, create\, and persist as a queer person in Minnesota in 2025.  \nWe are opening our walls to the LGBTQIA+ community\, literally! Artists are invited to bring their own work in the gallery during art drop off (May 26th 4pm- 8pm and Tuesday May 27th 12pm-4pm ).  We will provide the gallery walls and the Gamut crew will hang the art. This is a first come\, first served opportunity. Once the walls are full\, we’ll stop accepting additional pieces\, so early drop-off is encouraged. \nWe would be honored if you would share this opportunity with artists in your community. \nExhibition Details: \nLocation: Gamut Gallery // 717 S 10th Street\, Minneapolis\, MN\nExhibition Dates: Thursday June 5th – Saturday June 21\nArt Drop-Off: May 26th 4pm- 8pm and Tuesday May 27th 12pm-4pm  \nArt Pick-Up: Thursday\, June 26\, 11 AM to 6 PM \nPresent Tense Events:\n\nOpening Reception: Thursday June 5th  6–9 PM\nGamut’s 13-Year Anniversary Party: Saturday June 14th 3pm – 8pm \n– Featuring live mural painting\, music\, and community gathering.
