Frameline in San Francisco was fabulous! Dottie performed with Uncanny and Motilda and backup dancer/singer (also our composer) Allyson Newman after running a festival-only version of “Beat Beet” and our brand new music video. The kids had a blast – and so did we!

The Dottie Crew converged on SF two days before:
Andrea, our Director and tech guru drove up from LA with Dottie; Wayne, our Creative Director also drove up from LA with his camera and the portable Dottie couch to assemble pipe and drape for performances, plus his boyfriend Micheal who handed out Dottie coloring books; Karena, our Communications Head who lives p/t in SF was there to support Motilda; Ally, our Composer and back-up singer/dancer drove up with her girlfriend Laura who supported the funny, gassy Uncanny; and I flew down from Portland to help with crowd control and introduce the show.

After hours running through the “Let’s Be a Bat” song and new dance (thanks, Karena’s neighbors!!), we hit the Castro Theater stage and – with the wonderful support of the Frameline crew – had a really fun show with only one kid rushing the stage to dance with Dottie (so cute!).

Always amazes me how much time and crew is needed to make a show look simple!

More good news – Dottie is flying to the Austin Gay Lesbian Film Festival to perform for the kids! So please spread the word to any and all families you know in Austin to save September 11 at 11:30am for a great day with the kids… Thank you!
