“Widows and Children First” shows gay sensibility in its true relation to the more general sexual upheaval in our society. Playwright Harvey Fierstein achieves this with humor and insightful understanding of the human condition.

The play attempts to re-invent the American family as it centers on Arnold Beckoff, a middle- aged New Yorker who makes his living as a singing diva. Still smarting from the brutal death of his lover at the hands of gay bashers Arnold now finds himself in domestic turmoil. He has taken in and is trying to legally adopt David a gay teenager pronounced incorrigible by a parade of foster parents. Arnold’s ex-lover Ed has left his wife and has come to sleep on Arnold’s sofa bed while he tries to come to terms with his bi-sexuality.

Things get even more complicated when Arnold’s widowed mother arrives from Florida, and the situation erupts with comic elements.

Featured in the cast are Preston Misner, Cathie Weir, Prescott Seymour, and Trevor Stefanick. The play is directed by Art Nemitz.

"Directed by the charismatic
lesbian activist Joan E. Biren
(JEB), No Secret Anymore is...
an inspirational love story."
--Joshua Sanchez, Indie Wire

(Documentary) Founders of the modern lesbian civil rights movement, Del and Phyllis have been partners for more than 50 years and have been making history for most of their times. They are held in such esteem that in February, 2004, gay and lesbian San Franciscans stepped aside so that these two women could be the first to be married officially in City Hall.

Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon have been partners in love and political struggle for over fifty years. With incisive interviews, rare archival images and warmhearted humor, No Secret Anymore reveals their inspiring public work, as well as their charming private relationship. It is a delightful way to meet these legendary lesbians, known as the founders of the modern lesbian civil rights movement.

When they courageously launched the Daughters of Bilitis in 1955, it became the first public organization for lesbians in America. This documentary follows Martin and Lyon's story through half a century, tracing the emergence of lesbians from the fear of discovery to an expectation of equality.

Many will be dining at Main St. Grille before the movies Oct. 6-8. Come join the fun! They do take reservations!
