Bread & Roses Feminist Singers to Perform Spring Concert,
“Feminists Have No Sense of Humor”
Washington, DC’s only feminist chorus, the Bread & Roses Feminist
Singers, will hold its annual spring concert on Saturday, May 12, 2007 at 8
PM at National City Christian Church, 5 Thomas Circle, NW, Washington,
DC, conveniently located near McPherson Square Metro station (Blue and
Orange lines).
Ironically titled Feminists Have No Sense of Humor, the concert will feature
musical selections that, according to long-time chorus member Shannon
Wyss, “deliberately and light-heartedly challenge mainstream assumptions
about feminists and their politics.” In addition to the social justice music for
which the group is known, the repertoire includes “Why Don’t You Sing in
the Chorus?” (about the travails of auditioning), “I Love Thee” (chorus
member Kathryn Wanschura’s ode to cell phones), and “Caffeine Blues”
(about the impossibility of life without coffee).
The suggested donation for the ninety-minute concert is $15; tickets will be
available at the door or can be purchased in advance at
www.dcbreadandroses.org.

Hello All,

Welcome to this journal. T You likely will not see updates very often, as my primary motivation in starting this jurnal is to have a space in which I can participate in various D.C. and feminist communities.

I'll also be using this space to promote the feminist chorus I so very much enjoy being involved in.

So, you'll likely be better off taking a look at the various communities I've joined than to keep watching this journal specifically.
