One of the earliest uses of the word Lesbian in its modern context comes to us in a book by New Orleans’ own, Baron Reizenstein. Printed in the 1850s in a German Language Magazine, the book suggests that the city was one of the centers of Lesbian life in the United States alongside scandalous discussions of blood drinking rituals, and a thousand year old sapphic secret society.
NOLA Sapphics and Queer Underground Tours are teaming up for a Queer History Happy Hour event at the Domino on June 24th to present the research, and to fundraise for a video essay and a short booklet placing the Mysteries of New Orleans into historical context and recovers lost lesbian history, hiding in plain sight

The summer theatre event of New Orleans: Tennessee Williams’s exuberant masterpiece of passion, humor, and the courage to love again.#Theatre #Tennessee-Williams #Plays #Comedy #Drama
Passion blazes hotter than the Louisiana sun in The Rose Tattoo, Tennessee Williams’s most joyful and life-affirming love story. In a tight-knit Gulf Coast community bursting with laughter, music, and desire, a grieving widow rediscovers the power of love when a wild, big-hearted truck driver crashes unexpectedly into her world.
Written as a tribute to Williams’s own great love, The Rose Tattoo overflows with sensuality, humor, and Southern heat — a story of loss, longing, and the courage to love again.
This is the summer theatre event of New Orleans: vibrant, funny, and deeply human — a celebration of life, love, and the poetry of passion that only Tennessee Williams can deliver.
