Sappho's Salon: JUNE

It's the start of summer, it's Pride Month, and it's the first open salon Sappho's event. The open salon is a place for any cis and trans women, trans men, and non-binary artists to express creative work relating to gender, sexuality, and feminism. Creative works can be poetry, performance art, comedy, sketch, dance, storytelling, song, etc. If you've got fully realized pieces, great! If you've got half an idea that you want to try out in front of an audience, great! Organizers request you keep your performance simple. There will be a sign up sheet for you to claim a five minute slot. Depending on the number of people signed up, it's possible that everyone could get a little more time, but please plan for five minutes. (*All walk-up performers will receive a coupon to Women and Children First Bookstore!*) We will have a couple of awesome ladies presenting their work as featured performers to kick us off! MAGGIE WAGNER NIRE NAH and more... Doors open at 6:30 Show starts at 7:00 Women and Children First Bookstore 5233 N Clark St, Chicago, IL The open salons will be Pay What You Can! So, throw in what you've got, and as always, that cash will be split between our featured performers and the Women's Voices Fund. BYOB. Feel free to bring a dish to share as well!
