Movies In The Lounge @ Grayhaven Motel
Susie Bright presents: Behind the Scenes of “The Celluloid Closet”

A video show and tell from one of the creators of the fabled Hollywood documentary.

In 1996, Susie and friends Rob Epstein, Jeffery Friedman, Lily Tomlin, Army Maupin, Shirley McLaine, Gore Vidal, Harvey Fierstein, Whoopi Goldberg – made a mouth-dropping movie about the “secret” gay world of Old Hollywood, when being in the closet was de rigueur, but imparting queer aesthetics was EVERYTHING. It was based on the work of film historian Vito Russo, and went on to win Peabody, Emmy, and Sundance accolades – more importantly, rewriting Tinsel Town history with the truth.

Susie will show us the movie, and will tell us the juicy parts that didn’t make the Final Cut, as well as how we pulled it off against all the odds!

When: Movie viewing will be held on December 12th at 5:00 PM.

Where: We will meet in the cozy Grayhaven Motel Guest Lounge.

A new book discussed every month. Join us!

When: This Book Club meeting will be held on December 17th at 5:30 PM.

In a fresh twist, area-renown poets take the stage to perform with interpretive musicians with “The Verb Takes a Walk: Poetry Meets Music,” on Sunday, July 23, at the Lansing Performance Hall from 3:00 to 5:00. Featuring Peaches Gillette, Brooke Lange, Daphne Sola, Adin Luca, and Mike Finn, it promises to deliver poetry and music interactions in a memorably unique way.

“During Beatnik times, poetry and music hooked up,” according to Mark Zuss, former poetry professor and organizer of this Savage Club sponsored event. “But since those Kerouac days, this whole genre has been largely lost.”

Each of the “mixed media” readings that afternoon involve readings of diverse original poetry that is matched with live musical or other artform accompaniments or interpretations of that poetry. One of the many highlights is a reading by the 95-year-old poet, Daphne Sola, who will be followed by a high school protégé.
