Crones for the Holidays

Crones for the Holidays starring Terry Baum, slightly world-renowned lesbian playwright, and Carolyn Myers, retired warrior princess of comedy. Join a lesbian Jew and a straight lapsed Christian to celebrate the joys and oy vays of Chanukah, Christmas, Solstice, New Year's Eve, and the rumored Mayan apocalypse!

Scenes include: "Bubbie and her Butch", about a newly minted lesbian terrified to introduce her lover at her granddaughter's Chanukah party; Theresa Thesaurus, the illustrious abecedarian, who subversively deconstructs a Christmas carol chosen by the audience; and The Greatest Crones on Earth conducting a Sing-Along of new holiday songs destined to be classics, "Moishe the Green-Nosed Herring" and "The Twelve Days of Family Insults."

Baum and Myers were members of Lilith, the renowned San Francisco women's theater of the 70's. They co-wrote Dos Lesbos, A Play by, for and About Perverts, which opened in Oakland in 1981, inspired the first anthology of plays by lesbians in 1985, and offended the Pope in an Italian production in Rome in 2000. Resurrected as A Coupla Crackpot Crones in 2008, they have since performed throughout the Bay Area, and in Oregon, NY and NM.
