Last week a new play from SpeakEasy Stage opened called, School  Girls; or, The African Mean Girls Play, and later this week the Lyric Stage opens with a Sondheim musical, Pacific Overtures, which opens on Thursday and runs thru June 16th. Also opening on Thursday is the Boston Ballet’s production of Cinderella. But in my opinion the toughest ticket to get in town this week will be opening night of the Spring Pops season with special guest Bernadette Peters.

On Sunday, April 28th join The History Project, guest DJ Jimmy DePre and performer Sham Payne as they bring back the hanky code – the color-colded signaling system gay men used in the 1970s and 1980s. Funds raised will go to support the work that The History Project does, preserving LGBTQ history and sharing it with our community.

Pardon the strategically cropped Saturday Morning Coffee post.

Last November I published this blog post, which got more than a little attention,  Boston’s gay club Ramrod / Machine days are numbered. Last week more information was shared about the development project that is aiming to bulldoze the two-story building later this fall to build a private dorm.

Last week Universal Hub published that the British company building private dorm buildings filed formal plans for a 15-story, 533-bed dorm, replacing the building that houses a number of businesses including one of Boston’s last full-time gay bars, Machine / Ramrod. Someone must have mentioned that the pending demolition has struck a nerve with some in the community because they are planning to include a 6,000-square foot, 120-seat theater to be turned over to a non-profit group that will be centered on the LGBTQ community.

The Boylston Black Box will embrace the long-standing LGBTQ heritage of the Project Site. Since the 1970s, the Project Site has served as the location of various LGBTQ entertainment venues, including ‘The 1270’, ‘Quest’, ‘RamRod’, and ‘Machine’. These entertainment venues have been emblematic LGBTQ spaces and have often served – directly and indirectly – as a base for the LGBTQ community in the Fenway neighborhood.

Could this be the new home for Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans?
