- **Event Name**: Miss Otis Regrets at Post Office Cafe
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 08 Jun, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: “Miss Otis Regrets” is a genre-defying solo cabaret show that blends vintage radio drama, queer coming-of-age memoir, American socio-political history, and classic cabaret with sardonic wit and pathos. Framed by the haunting lyrics of Cole Porter’s “Miss Otis Regrets,” the show begins as a fictionalized 1950s radio broadcast detailing the life of Carl Otis, a sensitive young man navigating the dangers of queer desire in mid-century America. As Carl’s story unfolds—culminating in his exposure, public shame, and isolation—the narrative seamlessly shifts to the autobiographical journey of performer Francis Garner.

With musical interludes ranging from Arthur Schwartz to Sara Bareilles to M.C. Hammer, Francis parallels Carl’s repression and marginalization with his own queer youth in the 1990s and 2000s, tracing a path from closeted adolescent opera prodigy to disillusioned adult seeking authenticity. Wry commercial parodies and historical references (Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the AIDS crisis) lend political and cultural context, while candid monologues and powerful musical numbers bring emotional immediacy. The show culminates in a celebration of self-acceptance and resilience, underscored by a defiant hopefulness.
