Prosendale Presents: An Author Showcase – Donna Minkowitz, Lance Ringel, Jill Dearman And Gerard Cabrera For LGBTQ History Month

To celebrate LGBTQ History Month, which is commemorated in October, Rosendale Theatre will host a special edition of Prosendale, the bimonthly literary event series curated by Joyce Sprafkin.

An afternoon of readings from LGBTQ history and personal history will be offered by four writers. The readings will be followed by a brief panel discussion, followed by an audience Q&A. Then attendees will have the chance to buy books and have authors sign them.

The panel discussion with the authors will be facilitated by Jay Blotcher, a veteran journalist and LGBTQ activist.

Writers for the October installment of Prosendale in October will be:

She hosts the Lit Lit reading series in Beacon.

Lance Ringel’s debut novel Flower of Iowa, an epic romance between two WWI soldiers, won multiple awards. His second novel, Floridian Nights, unfolds during the 1980s AIDS epidemic.
