Terry Baum created LESBO SOLO for a performance in a dyke bar in South Africa. Now she’s bringing it back to her hometown Fringe Festival. In “Are You the One?”, she runs around the audience, falling in love (and breaking up) with one woman after another. In “Lesbians for WHAT?!,” she marches in the Pride Parade in a contingent so politically incorrect that no one will march with her. She tells her coming-out story, which includes (1) homicidal rage at male bikers trying to break into a women’s music festival, and (2) first-tiime lesbian lust while pretending to be a baby wrestling with another baby in an improvisation. Also, Terry’s mother (a hand puppet) comes back from the dead, to hound Terry to marry her gay male friend, a Jewish lawyer, so that Mom will have something to brag about in heaven.
There are slides!
There’s a song!
What’s not to like?
Do come.
In BaumBlog, Terry blogs about whatever grabs her, in her personal life, or in the world. It could be an obituary of Tina Turner (“Tina T & Me & the First Gay Olympics”), Affirmative Action’s positive impact on Clarence Thomas (“The Greatest Beneficiary of Affirmative Action Is....!”), a personal reflection on the Fourth of July (“And How Was Your Fourth?), or a meditation on racism (“Taking The Train While Black"). And sometimes it’s simply a photo essay on San Francisco's vibrant street art (“Mission Ramble”).

But Hannah Bergman, a spirited adolescent, arrives accompanied by her mother, Miriam, who has nowhere else to go. Torrie's hopes for Hannah's conversion to Christianity clash with Miriam's deep devotion to Judaism. Hannah is torn between the two women, as she tries to find her way in her new life.
