Community Event: Que Será, Será: A Life’s Journey of Sexual Orientation & Gender Expression
Que Será, Será: A Life’s Journey of Sexual Orientation & Gender Expression
Performed by Zelda
aka Judith Z. Miller
**** 4 Stars – “Truly an EIPIC Tale”
“The title of this gently confronting and evocative storytelling performance says it all. It is A Life’s Journey of Sexual Orientation and Gender Expression told by the charming and engaging Zelda (AKA Judith Z. Miller) who opens her heart and her life to the audience … imbuing her memories with passion, joy and melancholy …. Her stories are quirky and funny, distressing and sad, excitable and volatile and intermittently suicidal and tragic … Que Será Será is truly an epic tale of a coming of age in one’s sexuality and gender identity.”
– Kate Herbert Theatre Reviews (Australia)
“Que Será Será (QSS) is an engaging multi-media show that highlights Zelda’s personal journey through seven decades of life. She delivers a passionate performance that generously shares raw experiences, thoughts and confessions. Via her intimate and powerful writing, Zelda expertly guides the audience so that we may all examine, accept, and appreciate our own life’s journey. Although focused on her own Queer journey, Zelda’s story illuminates the dark moments many of us struggle with alone with compassion, warmth and humor, transforming the highly personal into an entertaining and universally relatable experience. A performance of QSS would be a wonderful addition to any community or art organizations’ programming calendar.”

The Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center is excited to offer a new ongoing social Writing Party series, facilitated by The Generations Project, starting April 21st and continuing on the Third Wednesday of every other month through August, (June 16th, August 18th), from 5-6:30pm EST!
At each session, TGP facilitators will guide participants through a variety of short creative writing prompts, designed to help each person express themselves, share their story and get to know each other. No writing experience necessary! These are fun, accessible exercises to flex your imagination and get to hear the perspectives of other generations of LGBTQ+ people. April’s session falls just before Earth Day, so we’ll be exploring related themes: the Indigenous history of the land, the environment and our global queer community.

a little about me: I am a licensed massage therapist, and have been serving the Hudson valley since 1991. I love my work, and am now looking forward to opening my life to offer these sits as an opportunity to collectively create a safe and welcoming container for us BIPOC folx to gather and meditate together…. as Rev angel says, “Come as you are, leave as you must…”
