Hello, Sailor!


DaPoPo Theatre prepares for our queer, maritime-themed Café DaPoPo, offering a fabulous selection of scenes, songs, monologues, happenings, poems and more at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, scheduled for Friday, June 10th. Individually-priced performances can be ordered at your table. Cover will be $5.-. The performance accompanies the exhibition "Hello, Sailor!", the immediate focus: gay life at sea from the 1950s through the 1980s. We have started to research and create material, drawing from popular culture pre-1950s, as well as original scenes, performances and monologues.

Thanks to our brave and talented performers Kristi Anderson, Andrew Chandler, John Han, Keelin Jack, Matt Peach – his first Café DaPoPo! – and Ali Richardson, as well as our volunteer bar tenders Ryan Brown and Terry Joyce, and our dolly mistress-of-ceremonies Kim Parkhill. Thanks, also, to Sarah Schwarz and the Crêperie Mobile, as well as the Museum staff.
