Boston Gay Mens Chorus ambitous outreach program documentary: Music Triumphs Homophobia

Posted on January 25, 2023 | 2 comments

Pardon while I brag a bit about the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus (BGMC) which recently released a new 2 hour documentary that shares the positive impact BGMC has had in fighting homophobia here in the US and around the world through the power of their music and making their presence known.

The documentary, “Music Triumphs Homophobia,” shares the impact BGMC has had in recent years, traveling to and performing in places openly hostile to the LGBTQ+ community, like Poland, Turkey, and South Africa. I promise you’ll feel moved and inspired by the work this organization has done when you watch the documentary’s two minute trailer.

Hasty Pudding Theatre: 174 Cosmic Relief!

Posted on January 24, 2023 | Leave a comment

The Hasty Pudding Theatre is America’s oldest theater company in the United States. This tiny theater tucked into a side street across from Harvard Yard is often overlooked, and I wanted to give the troupe a shout out. If you’re looking for a fun evening out at the theater that won’t break the bank, check out this year’s production, HPT: 174 Cosmic Relief! Tickets start at a very reasonable $35 and are worth every penny.

HPT 174: Cosmic Relief!

Houston, we have a problem: FBI agent LAUREN ORDER has tanked the Apollo Mission again! Since Lauren turned her communist mother in to the FBI as a child, the Bureau has been her home — but after losing all of her puppy test-astronauts to the cosmos and sending America’s space race chances hurtling, she’s been demoted to the place of a government agent’s nightmares: Hollywood. On her way to bust failed director WORSE N. WELLES’s production of a sci-fi movie with communist undertones, Lauren has a realization: if she can’t make a real moon landing happen, why not fake one instead? With the help of resident diva SHIRLEY UVERDOVME, lovable but dim leading man THEODORE MEE, spacey hippie AUNTY ESTABLISHMENT, method actress ESTHER TERRESTRIAL, and professional extra JUSTIN D’BACKCROWNED, will this production studio successfully feign one giant leap for mankind? Will tap-dancing child actor MANNIE! VENTUALLYWILLFALL finally find someone to adopt him? Will Lauren’s lost space pup LASSIE NINORBETTE find her way back home? And, for Neptune’s sake, will ousted NASA scientist NOAH CREDITED, Ph.D. finally find a use for his squeak ray? Take one small step into Farkas Hall this spring to find out as HPT proudly presents its 174th production: COSMIC RELIEF!

Written By: Maureen Clare and Matthew Cole

HPT 174: COSMIC RELIEF!
February 5th to March 5th

If you love campy productions – the Hasty Pudding Theater is for you!

It has been far too long since I last posted a photograph of the Kilted Coaches so when I stumbled upon this photograph of Stephen Clarke and Rab Shields I knew I wanted to share it on my weekly men in kilts post.

Monday morning mancandy

Posted on January 23, 2023 | 2 comments

Much thanks to Bob over at I Should Be Laughing blog for introducing me to Mike Piek in a post on his blog in late December. According to Bob this Dutch model is also a schoolteacher who works with children who have physical and mental challenges. If that doesn’t make this week’s mancandy all the sweeter, I don’t know what more I can offer.

You can see more of Mike Piek on IG, here.

Much thanks to GayBodyBlog.coom where I found this photo of Mike.

I love this photograph which suggests it dates back to the late 19th / early 20th century. Their synchonized pose with left legs crossed, hands in each others and pipes, cigarettes (or whatever that is) justting off to their left is picture perfect.

Yesterday, Madonna formerly announced (what had been an ongoing discussion on many public forums) that she would be going on tour again. The 35-city global tour called Madonna: The Celebration Tour will include many of her greatest hits.

The tour begins out on the west coast in July and comes to Boston on Wednesday, August 30th at the Boston Garden. For more information about the upcoming tour check back with the biggest Madonna fan I know, Matthew Rettenmund who has been writing about this tour on his blog boyculture.
