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. Covid policy is subject to change based on regional conditions and/or guidance.

SUMMARY:Mae West and the Trial of Sex (ASL-Interpreted)
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. Covid policy is subject to change based on regional conditions and/or guidance. Please do not attend the show if you have tested positive for Covid-19 or if you are actively experiencing Covid-like symptoms. \nLocation and Parking:\nCrane Theater is located at 2303 Kennedy St NE\, Minneapolis\, MN 55413.

Subsection 2GY\, the ELSEWHERE COUNCIL is now accepting attendees for its latest open session: KINFOLX — a spectacle-council for the end-times and the beginning-agains. \nThis is not a play. \nThis is agenda-based survival. \nPart performance ritual\, part community assembly\, KINFOLX transports the audience to Elsewhere\, a vibrant and volatile underground queer protectorate constructed from dirt\, tradition\, and vibes. Through council cosplay\, audience-led referenda\, and occasional musical combustion\, this gathering reimagines survival as something less tragic and more chaotically fabulous. \nWe may be asked to vote. \nWe may be asked to bark. \nWe may be asked to dance. \nWe may be asked to reconsider everything. \nIF YOU ARE: \n– Queer\, trans\, nonbinary\, or spiritually allergic to overhead lighting \n– A lover of speculative bureaucracy and kinetic rituals \n– An ally\, artist\, academic\, archivist\, hot mess\, or policy wonk \n– Curious about where the council stands on climate collapse\, hot sauce trauma\, or robot ancestors \n**…Then attendance is NOT optional.** \nTickets available now. June 20-28.
