by Harrington, Anne

Come spend an early Thanksgiving feast with us -- minus the turkey, creamed onions, and sweet potatoes with melted marshmallows, and focused on the only good part: PIE! [cid:image001.png@01D36310.4E901B90] We will have lots, in multiple flavors: apple, pumpkin, pecan, and more. We will also have vanilla ice cream for you to dress it up with. So come express your gratitude for PIE by joining us at 9pm tomorrow in cozy Comstock Living, complete with a holiday fire and enough for everyone.

[PFOHO] Pfoho Outing! "Fellow Travelers"

by Erik Nook

Hello Pfoho! Our pfearless leader Anne managed to secure pFREE tickets to the final dress rehearsal of *Fellow Travelers*, an Opera that offers an interesting and important exploration of the queer experience in the 1950s (see below for description). Your BGLTQ tutors are organizing the trip and are excited to bring a group of students along to see the show!!! The event is on *November 11 at 7:30pm*. We'll depart from Pfoho at *6:30pm sharp*. If you are free and able to attend, you can sign up here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSexkd0PAMQHhqxbOFKbYRoKvZFeiY5mrOc…>. If necessary, we will close the lottery at the end of the week. Thanks! Erik, Kate, and Summer [image: DN4_4331] *Could you risk it all to live truthfully?* During the McCarthy Era in the 1950s, the Lavender Scare forcibly outed and fired US government employees for being gay. Interrogations of one’s sexuality were commonplace, and fear of being outed caused many to hide their truth. BLO’s opera takes place in the midst of this tumultuous time. Timothy Laughlin and Hawkins Fuller meet in Washington, D.C. and initiate a passionate, forbidden love affair. But what will they do when confronted with the harsh reality of their time? <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__blo.org_fellow-2Dtrave…>Music by Gregory Spears Libretto by Greg Pierce Based on the 2007 novel by Thomas Mallon Against a backdrop of 1950s paranoia in Washington, D.C., two men are swept into a passionate love affair, just as Senator McCarthy ratchets up his hunt for “sexual subversives” in the government. Based on the best-selling book by Thomas Mallon, *Fellow Travelers* is both a story of the heart and a taut political thriller, creating an instant contemporary classic. *Sung in English with English surtitles* Approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes, including one intermission. _______________________________________________ Pfoho-announce mailing list Pfoho-announce(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu To unsubscribe from this list or get other information: https://lists.fas.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/pfoho-announce
