Lyric Stage presents The Wolves

bosarts, boston theater, local theater It is opening night for the Lyric Stage Company’s first production of 2019, The Wolves, an off Broadway hit that first opened in 2016 and was a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer for best drama. The play will run through February 3, 2019 so even if you cannot get to the show this weekend (a limited number of tickets remain available) you can still make plans to see this show.

The play centers on the experiences of a high school girls soccer team who are going through their Saturday morning pre-game warm ups. The play opens with the girls talking about a Cambodian murderer with overlapping dialogue that vacillates between individual conversations and the main topic that they all intermittently comment upon. These side conversations include period gossip, talk of boys, their coach who is hungover and speculations about the “new” girl.

Find time to make plans with friends and see this production. Not only will an evening out for dinner (or drinks) and a show be a great way to pass an evening but it will also support a local theater company that is worthy of your patronage.

BosGuy brain teaser

riddle, exercise for your brainEach Friday morning I post a riddle to get you to think outside the box and exercise your brain. If you are stumped, share it with a friend or colleague and see if you can figure out the answer together.

I’ll confirm answers in the afternoon so don’t worry if you don’t see your comment posted right away. I want to give everyone a chance to guess.

Some of you may recall this riddle which I post around this time each year.

This week’s brain teaser:  I have a home and a big space, I have keys but I have no locks, I have lots of letters but I have no mailbox. What am I?

Vintage gay

Peter Watson, Cecil Beaton, Robert Heber-PercyThe photo above shows Cecil Beaton, Oliver Watson and Peter Watson in the 1930s. Apparently these three raised more than a few eyebrows as they flaunted their disregard for social mores. It seems like this was tolerated to a point possibly due to their family’s wealth and influence. There is an interesting read about these men you can check out here.

I dedicate this weekly post, featuring vintage gay photographs, to the men and women who lived in a more critical time where being true to yourself and loving who you want wasn’t always an option and came at a great price. Do you have a photo you would like to share?

This week on Instagram: giovanicordioli

beach, brazil, giovani cordioliWith the holidays now behind us and most of North America settling in for what will be a chilly few months as we wait for spring and summer to arrive, I thought this would be the perfect account to suggest following on Instagram.

All I can tell you about Giovani is that he is a travel photographer who is based in Rio de Janeiro and that he takes some absolutely breathtaking photos. His feed is filled with gorgeous landscapes and while he loves the beach he also has some spectacular photos of nature.

Bostonian nutrition facts

So many people make New Year’s resolutions to adopt healthier eating habits and today marks one week for all of you who made such resolutions. Hopefully you’ll find this nutritional label much more interesting to read.

What to do this week: January 7 – 13

drink, bar, bartender, cocktailsWinter is here but don’t let the cold keep you at home when there are so many events, parties and more. This week I’d like to give a shout out to the Après Ski Winter Mixer on Wednesday (hosted by Out in Southie, OutRyders and DotOUT) at Bastille Kitchen and on a somewhat related note the Sugarloaf Together ski weekend that starts on Thursday to benefit Equality Maine. 

If skiing isn’t your thing perhaps you’d like to show your love and support by attending the Coronation XV: Vintage Hollywood the Golden Age of Glamour which will be a blast or you can join Sergio and me at the Lush Life: Jazz Standards show on Thursday at the Napoleon Room. 

On Sunday I’d like to give the Mass Bears and Cubs Sunday brunch at Trophy Room and the Gay Beer Club Sundays which meets later that evening (both are friendly, social groups that do a lot to dispel Boston’s cold reputation).

2019 North American gay ski week calendar

Each January I write about the various ski weeks and weekends that are organized here in New England and North America for those of you who love to take ski vacations. Below I’ve included a handful of such gay ski celebrations. If you enjoy skiing, I’d also like to use this as an opportunity to give a shout out to OutRyders – New England’s largest gay ski club.

Aspen Gay Ski Week: January 13 – 20, 2019
This week long celebration is the biggest and oldest of its kind starting back in 1977 and having grown significantly over the years.

Whistler Pride & Ski Festival: January 20 – 27, 2019
This annual tradition which started in 1992 offers plenty to do and if you are coming from the US at a nice price break with the favorable exchange rate.

Winter Rendezvous at Stowe, VT: January 23 – 27, 2019
This is New England’s largest (and longest running) gay ski week. This year will mark Winter Rendezvous 35th anniversary. Boston’s  gay ski club, OutRyders helps their members organize logistics if you’re interested in this event.

WOW weekend at Sunday River, ME: February 8 – 10, 2019
The Welcoming Committee has created a mini-takeover of the Sunday River Resort for the past six years, even organizing transportation from Boston to make it as easy / convenient as possible for everyone.

Elevation Utah Gay Ski Week at Park City: February 21 – 24, 2019
While Utah isn’t exactly known as the most gay friendly place in America, this will be the 9th anniversary and continues to grow in popularity.

Elevation Mammoth Gay Ski Week: March 13 – 17, 2019
The Elevation Ski Week brand started here at Mammoth Mountain sixteen years ago and attracts mostly a west coast crowd.

Big Gay Jay Weekend at Jay’s Peak, VT: March 22 – 24, 2019 
This weekend trip to southern Vermont is organized for and by New England’s gay ski club The OutRyders.
