Arcata Playhouse Hosts Womxn’s Festival
Press release from the Arcata Playhouse:
Womxn’s Festival Zero to Fierce
For the sixth year in a row the Arcata Playhouse presents its womxn’s festival, this year entitled Zero to Fierce 2022: Listening Out Loud. From Saturday, March 5th to Sunday, March 13th, a chorus of voices come together to walk the talk, and talk the walk. The festival encompasses International Women’s Day on March 8th and celebrates a multiplicity of creative womxn’s work.
This year’s festival brings back the morning movement workshops, Lunchbox series of speakers and panels, and evening and matinee performances of all kinds and flavors. Local and out-of-town presenters and performers bring a ballyhoo of fresh perspectives into the mix in this fabulous, feminine celebration; festival audiences can anticipate music, theatre, activism, dance, fitness, food, fine art and more.
Saturday March 5th will kick off with a Sunrise Walk outdoors with dance and theatre maker and somatic artist Laura Muñoz. Then the festivities begin, with performances by Zuzka Sabata, Jessi Lea Langston, and Sweet Harmony Women’s Chorus starting the week off. Morning workshops will get students moving with Stephanie Perrett teaching yoga, Mimi Kyoko bringing DanzUrbano, Danielle Cenotti’s empowerment self defense, and more. Lunchbox events at 12:00 p.m. Monday through Friday include lunch with ticket purchase to presentations on various topics this year, including a talk by Sanctuary writer Hazel Ricard, Dr. Gina Belton on grieving, and Tucker Noir on identity. Humboldt Hot Air, Humboldt county’s newest radio station, will be programming special womxn-centered shows throughout the week.
Tuesday March 8th, WILPF (the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom) celebrates International Women’s Day with a live streamed virtual celebration including music from the Raging Grannies, a keynote speech about women and sustainability by Caroline Griffith, and a singalong with Jan Bramlett and Leslie Quinn. On Wednesday night women-identifying and genderqueer performers can have their moment in the spotlight at an “Open Michelle” Open Mic, hosted by comic duo the Devil Herself and her emotional support demon, Belpho.
The festivities continue through the week, and on Friday, March 11th guests can come in from “Arts! Arcata” to enjoy two original theatre performances back-to-back in the Arcata Playhouse at 8:00 p.m. On Saturday guests can enjoy a Hawaiian-style plate lunch from HAPI (Humboldt Asian and Pacific Islanders) before some stompin’ swayin’ timeless Americana with Bay Area-based singer songwriter Aireene Espiritu. The week will conclude with a community brunch on Sunday, March 13th at 11:00 a.m.

Anyone see the woke comic who started bragging about being vaxxed, then started talking evil about Jesus. Then in seconds, she passes out on stage and smashed her head open. To see her look up to heaven, with the ” I see God,” before she crumbles on stage was inspiring. Then you ought to see the interview after, when she back pedals about how God loves her. Cant make this stuff up, God is truly great and forgiving, for those who ask.
I can’t wait to go to this woke event, I will be wiering my pink pussy hat, and holding a sign saying Trumps fault…
Sounds fxn.
Fxck yeah
This is sexist. If we had a men’s Festival promoting manly things y’all would collectively lose your minds.
Word.
Men already have that it’s called football and lots of women respect their men enough to ignore it…
In case you haven’t caught on, many of the wemxn are actually men.
I would so be there for that.

Breaking California declared 48 worst state to live in US. Please join me and protest this fake news. Where else can you get an app that tells you where human feces are on the side walk, where hippies protest for the men , and where pot is free.
Come join me, wear your pussy hats, bring your best Trump hate signs, and let’s show America how truly woke we are.
See ya later California hater!
I am gobsmacked… This event is historic, apparently…
Whatever a Womexan is, I am grateful for all the fleshy womxen in swimsuits and less, on Instagram, right where they can set the standards for sexuality and femininity, which apparently includes huge bosoms and buttocks, prominently displayed , so that young womexn will have righteous goals and body images to strive for…
OH and apparently, the more tattoos, the better, girls…
Tattoo in haste, when drunk and otherwise incapacitated, and then repent in private…
Remember, you can present your entire boom-boom, but, ladynipples, are nasty! Cover those up!
Women, have too many political uses, these days, but stand up for your own self, realize that modern young men ain’t about shit, and remember, you can’t spend your entire life playing with your phone, posting selfies on IG, and posting videos of yourself bouncing up and down, on TikTok, the name of which was stolen from L. Frank Baum…
Respect yourself, get bored with men, become something all your own, and save the swimsuit for the beach…
And save your misogyny for your mental health appointments!!
If that’s all you got out of that, then peace be with you…
Womexen are pretty confused, these days, but I encourage them to protest the increases in incidence of breast cancer, cervical cancer and alcoholism.
Shows like this one, will do little to improve the state of womexen in general. What will improve the status of women is education, proper gender roles, and the tendency of women to control men.
Men need to be controlled, because they are a silly bunch of clowns, rather destructive, and in Humboldt, they tend to be “hit and run fathers”, unemployed, and stoned.
I can teach you how to control men, in my online class, but until then, sign up for Yoga, Sound-Bath therapy, and consult a Psychic Empath Crystal-Healer, for assistance.
I do not categorically hate womexen, I have hope for them, just like I have hope for those folks who are true stewards of the environment, and those actually furthering the health and development of all people.
I worked 24 years, in women’s health, dispensing services to drug-addicted pregnant women of color, so find somebody else to call a misogynist…
Dude you are a hero. I love to promote and school women and guys being stupid, and more importantly how women are so stinking powerful that they compare only to God, as in they both can create. That’s why Satan hates women, because they can give and make life, however they aren’t aware they are a gift, so they get played , get tricked into thinking their bodies are some kind of object for men to lust after, etc.
Breaks my heart that women get enticed by sex, drugs, and rock n roll, when ironically Ole Cosmin Charlie the uckin Original, explained to me , about peace , love , and harmony. Big difference, kind of like either being a Dead Head or Hippy, but people are not enlightened anymore, they are just wounded individuals, lost without a compass.
Ps, thanks for your service, I did my time helping former veterans and inmates, funny but sad how once you school em, thanks my GDF , they all cry the same, and usually end up living a pretty good life. ?
There was a study out on the number of liberals who have mental health issues. 62% compared to 22% of conservatives. Pretty eye opening. A MAJORITY have mental health issues, yet try to tell you how to live your life.
I can only guess who conducted that study.
