The Marsh Berkeley presents “Lesbo Solo: My Gay History Play”

The Marsh Berkeley presents the latest work from pioneer lesbian playwright Terry Baum—”Lesbo Solo: My Gay History Play”, co-directed by Sarah Alberston and Bill Peters. A Best of Fringe winner at the 2024 San Francisco Fringe Festival, the play begins in 1963, when Terry’s beloved high school teacher is threatened with being fired over rumors that she’s a lesbian. Spanning over five decades, “Lesbo Solo: My Gay History Play” is both a narrative coming-out story and gay historical opus—a reminder that history is first lived, then written. As Terry evolves from a homophobic teenager into an outspoken lesbian and political force, audiences are taken on a whirlwind tour of the gay liberation movement shared from Baum’s personal, hilarious, and deeply lived story.
