Artist Meet-Up History Project with guest artists from Last Call New Orleans Dyke Bar; 6-8 pm, Tuesday, March 10 location TBD. Did you go to Dyke bars in the 70’s, 80’s or 90’s? Do you have a story about Knoxville Lesbian or Gay Bar? Join us for a Dyke Bar Story Circle with guest artists from the Last Call: The New Orleans Dyke Bar History Project. As dyke and lesbian bars continue to close all over the U.S, our collective of next-generation Queer artists, archivists, and activists have come together to ask: Where have all the bars gone; how were these bars important to our community?

ABOUT: The Carpetbag Theatre, Inc. was founded in 1969 and chartered in 1970. It is a Knoxville-based professional, multi-generational ensemble company dedicated to the production of new works. We work in partnership with community artists, activists, cultural workers, storytellers, and leaders to create original, theatrical works. Our mission is to give artistic voice to the issues and dreams of people who have been silenced by racism, classism, sexism, ageism, homophobia and other forms of oppression. Celebrating 50th-anniversary in 2019, makes the Carpetbag Theatre the longest-running, African-American theatre troop in the world.
