Hot Greeks: The Cockettes Musical
Thursday-Saturday, April 12-14, 8:00PM, plays through May 5
The Hypnodrome, 575 10th Street, San Francisco
$30-$35
http://thrillpeddlers.com/hot-greeks-the-cockettes-musical
http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/225549
“Thrillpeddlers are proud to announce our Spring Season 2012 production of Hot Greeks, A New Full-Length, Fully Restored Version of The Cockettes’ 1972 Musical Extravaganza, an original musical by Martin Worman and Scrumbly Koldewyn. This is the 40th Anniversary of the original production. Originally produced as a Nocturnal Dream Show and performed in 1972 at midnight at the Palace Theatre in Chinatown in SF, Hot Greeks was the fabled and fabulous Cockettes’ only other scripted book musical besides Pearls Over Shanghai. The Cockettes were a gender-bending theatrical troupe who not only originated these two shows, but also exerted a profound influence on the culture of our times, from the phenomenon of midnight movies to glitter rock stars and their outrageous fashions. In 2010 The Thrillpeddlers mounted a condensed 70-minute version of Hot Greeks and it was an instant, sold-out hit. This new 2012 production expands the show to a full-length version and restores 3 songs from the original 1972 production.
In Hot Greeks, college rhythm meets the Peloponnesian War as Athens University takes on Sparta State for their annual pigskin showdown. This musical, loosely based on Aristophanes’ Lysistrata features the Tri Thigh Sorority girls and their hunky footballer sweethearts jiving to the big-band hit parade sounds of the 1940s. The kids sing and dance through the ruins of ancient Greece, on their way to consult the Oracle of Delphi in their pursuit of victory on the gridiron. Dancing columns, vestal virgins, country cousins, and even a pig, all join Lysistrata on her journey to save the day for the Gods and Greece.”

http://www.excelsiorcompany.com/wheresee.html
“You're Invited to Spend a Pleasant Afternoon in 1906 at the Excelsior Electric Theatre.
Escape the 21st-Century Ratrace! Relax and Play in Excelsior's Non-Digital World, where the wonder of cinema is still fresh, and movies are on real film that's run on real mechanical projectors.
Here the 20th Century is new, and (despite natural disasters) the future looks bright; such man-made complications as World Wars, Television, the Internet, and those little plastic water bottles are as yet unimagined.
Excelsior offers an array of the finest 'new' films, from actualities, dramas and comedies to imported fantasies by Méliès, Pathé and others, plus magic lantern slides and live music.
The show is in two acts, and commences at one o'clock. Between the acts is the Tea Party intermission, with pleasant refreshments. We are happy to relate that our tea party has real china and silverware. Plenty of excelsior, but no plastic!
1913 is not only the year that income tax as we know it was introduced, but also marks the first issue of the new Indian head nickel.
Since we do need to cover costs, we're happy to accept donations.
$10 for adults and $5 for children aged 5-12 is suggested, children under 5 are a nickel.
A family of four can save by donating $20; a party of four can save by donating $25.
Anyone can donate less according to means or inclination,
BUT EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS SHOULD BRING A NICKEL!
(This needn't be a 1906 Liberty head or 1913 Indian head nickel-- any will do)
If you can't afford more than that nickel, don't stay away-- but you might want to reserve your place.
We also wish to note any dietary restrictions among our guests, so that all can be served at tea.”

"Filmed on 5 continents, in a dozen countries, Not My Life features more than fifty interviews with trafficking victims and their advocates in government, law enforcement, civil society, and the private sector. From ten year-old girls raped in USA truck stops or brothels in India; the street beggars in Africa; to domestic servants in Washington, D.C., Not My Life takes viewers into a world that is difficult to imagine, let alone accept.
Heartbreaking though many of its stories may be, ultimately, however, Not My Life's message is an inspiring one of hope. ‘Each of us’ declares Desmond Tutu, who was interviewed for the film, ‘has the capacity to become a saint.’ Despite the evil it portrays, Not My Life is a tribute to the enormous resilience of the human spirit, a moving and memorable testament that even in these harsh times, all hope need not be lost."
“We will gather and settle in for the documentary. After which we will have time to enjoy tea and light desserts and open into a discussion, sharing and information on the Global SEVA Challenge for India.
Men and women are welcome... all who are interested in learning more about the Global problem of Human Trafficking and specifically Sex Trafficking in India are invited.
Please forward this event to friends, family, networks, co-workers and anyone who you feel might be interested in Contributing to this Fundraising Effort.
Any and all proceeds will go to support the Global SEVA Challenge India, a program of Off The Mat, Into The World.”

http://www.janamband.com
“Janam (My Soul) creates a compelling mix of Balkan, Romani, Turkish, Sephardic and American roots music and originals. Led by golden-throated Kitka Women's Vocal Ensemble veteran Juliana Graffagna, Janam proves that the foothills of the Balkans and the Appalachians lie in Oakland. Janam's funky meters, bittersweet modes, driving tunes, and sultry ballads invoke the nightingales and dark eyes, the hot love and cold hollows of Europe and America's most musical mountains. Janam unites the Bay Area's most imaginative and devoted practitioners of Balkan and Near Eastern music, to follow the universal threads of folk songs of disparate traditions. The resulting music is transcendent, sensuous and irresistible.
Janam was formed in 2008 out of a common love and deep respect for the complexity, variety and enduring beauty of the music of the Balkans, Turkey, and America's mountain regions. Each musician has spent years exploring the deep well of these traditional musical forms. Together, Janam strives to create music that is fresh, soulful and texturally rich. In addition to Albanian, Macedonian, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Sephardic Jewish, Romani (Gypsy) and Appalachian roots music, Janam's repertoire includes original compositions inspired by the modalities and meters of these musical traditions.
Juliana Graffagna - vocals, percussion
Dan Auvil - percussion, vocals
Tom Farris - laouto, guitar, accordion
Gari Hegedus - violin, oud, saz, mandocello
Peter Jaques - clarinet, ney, vocals”

Ritual Theatre Discussion
with Labyrinth Circle
Sunday, April 15, 1:00PM

RSVP to Evan Riter at snowcat369@sbcglobal.net
or at the Facebook page below
http://www.facebook.com/groups/233073563453605
http://www.thespiralpath.org/calendar/view_entry.php?id=281&date=20120415
Lezlie of Labyrinth Circle says:
“Hi all - As many of you know, the ritual/sacred theater and performance circle hosts a bi-monthly discussion/exploration meeting.
Labyrinth Circle will host the next sacred performance/theatre discussion/exploration meeting on April 15, 1:00PM, potluck lunch. RSVP Evan snowcat369@sbcglobal.net, for address and directions. This is a completely ecumenical/Interfaith discussion.
You do not have to be a performer (per se) to join in the discussion.
Topic: Classical (Greek) theatre - and - secondarily, ancient performance in the mystery religions of the Mediterranean world as sacred works - as opposed to how they are often performed today and taught in Classics and History (... of theatre, religion etc.) courses.
Question: What were they doing? were the festivals (Dionysian - Musea or Museo -Thesmophoriazusae, etc.) sacred as we understand the word, or entertainment, or both, or something else not experienced in modern culture? The purpose of catharsis/contextual experience.
Did these famous drama festivals have some interrelationship with the mystery religions of the ancient world (Eleusis - Cybele - etc) did one, as some scholars think, come from the other? Or, as other believe, was the relationship much more complex?
And - third part of the question: What about other concurrent traditions of the ancient world (not Greek: Egyptian; Estruscan, Persian, Jewish) who also performed sacred theatre?(see above questions).”

We expect a big turn-out, so all the help we can get is much appreciated. If you can commit even an hour or two as volunteer, it will help us sooooo much. It will be a fun atmosphere of women trying on all kinds of new things and taking home special treasures.
For those who are new to an exchange, here's the basics: Sort through your clothes to create a give-away pile. Bring the best of those to share: clothes that either no longer fit or just aren't your style, and take home clothes that call to you from what other women bring. Come try on stuff, hang out with your sisters, go in the hot tub, and go home with great new clothes. We are inviting clothing of all sizes, plus sizes especially welcome.
HERE'S A FEW REQUESTS TO MAKE IT SMOOTHER:
- Bring clothes and shoes in good condition that you think others
would be excited to have
- Bring clothes on hangers, if at all possible (extra hangers welcome)
-Goddess music, jewelry, shoes, and other finery welcome
- Make sure garments are freshly laundered & shoes are tidied up
- Let us know ahead of time if you have clothing racks we can borrow
- As always carpool if at all possible, that way you can bring your 'sisters'
Start looking through your closets now and getting excited! It will be here soon! We'll all play dress up and have the joy of watching other women's faces light up when they find some great outfit, perhaps one you brought.”

“Standing under the moon, staring up into infinity... how many times have I rooted here... dreaming... transfixed, gazing at the beauty of the heavens and contemplating the mysteries of the Universe? How many more moons will wax and wane above as I weave the web of my magical life below? Life is such a sacred journey! And this class is a journey into my personal philosophies and practices of witchcraft. The methods I share in this class come from my twenty years of experience in making magic that works for my own purposes, and for the good of the world.
This class is a year and a day training in witchcraft, employing my methods. Suitable for beginners on the path, but also satisfying for advanced practitioners who are curious about new perspectives and practices. Be prepared to laugh, to explore your own magic with affection and humor, to wield your power mindfully, and to open to the wonder and adventure of life as a witch.

Who is OwlSnake?
Born into a long lineage of Medicine Men/Women, Spiritual Healers, Seers, and Shamans, on both her maternal and paternal ancestral lines, she was first called to this sacred path at the age of 4 years old from her Great Aunt. She was chosen to continue the family tradition of Spiritual Medicine work, some would call Shamanism. Through the years she would experience many of life's challenges and growth opportunities that have allowed her to learn and experience firsthand some of the greatest issues that plague this world today. From those experiences, along with her direct connection with Great Spirit, Guides, Angels, and Ancestors, OwlSnake has awakened into being a compassionate healer that is willing to be used as a ‘Hollow Bone’ for Spirit to assist all those that seek healing and inspiration on their journey.”
