Writerly Events in May?

Hello all, I wanted to send something on here, since it’s mainly been posts by Anne, who wants others to post – so here I am, posting! Figured I’d post with something to offer. I happen to be featuring, presenting, or attending some events this month and wondered if folks of the Creative Writing Community of CUNY would be interested in attending.

Tonight & Tomorrow: Come to WOW Cafe Theater 
May 1st : WOW! Wow Cabaret
I’ll be reading a piece of fiction accompanied by slideshow
There will also be burlesque acts, girls on guitars, and some theater.
It’s a queer event. More info on that here:

May 2nd: Birthing Warriors Rivers of Honey Cabaret
I co-produce this monthly cabaret with my wife and she is awesome.
This month we have an amazing line-up.
Here’s the info on our website and the facebook page.

May 3rd: SkillShare at the Brooklyn Public Library
I
‘ll be doing an Oral History workshop with Elizabeth Zeeuw & Erik Bobilin, but there will also be a creative writing & self-publishing workshop in the morning by Nicola McDonald.

May 17th: Louis Armstrong Archives Residency Reading
at the Historic Armstrong House in Corona, Queens. I will be reading the work created from the Archives!

May 22nd: In The Life: Outing Lorraine
At the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, I’ll be moderating a panel on the choice for scholars and activists to utilize the lesbian life  of Lorraine Hansberry or other public figures – Is this an imposition?

I’m sure there are loads of things happening in May…
What are you all up to?

Shawn
