Slightly world-renowned lesbian playwright, Terry Baum, has both created and ridden the wave of history that has freed gay people. She tells that true story in Lesbo Solo, My True Life Adventures thru 50 Years of Gay Liberation, which won Best of Fringe at the 2024 S.F. Fringe Fest, and was a big hit at World Pride D.C. this year. The play begins in 1963, when Terry’s beloved high school teacher, Miss Perl (yes, our own beloved Harriet Perl!), is threatened with being fired over rumors that she’s a lesbian. Lesbo Solo ends 50 years later, with the astonishing redemption of Miss Perl in a world that has been transformed for lesbians and gays. In between those two events, Terry grows from a homophobic teenager to a pioneering lesbian playwright who demands to be honored by her reluctant parents — and marches in the Pride Parade in a contingent so politically incorrect that no one will march with her! The powerful arc of the gay liberation movement over five decades is seen through Terry’s moving and hilarious personal narrative.
