RADAR Productions

RADAR Productions is a San Francisco-based non-profit that produces literary happenings around the Bay Area and beyond. Founded by queer writer and performer, Michelle Tea, RADAR produces the monthly RADAR Reading Series at the San Francisco Public Library. A showcase of underground heroes, emerging voices and bonafied superstars, each RADAR Readin... g features four dynamic performers and is followed by a lively question and answer session with the audience, during which home-made cookies are doled out to participants. Literature and cookies, together at last! RADAR Reading series is always free! Each year, RADAR puts SISTER SPIT: The Next Generation on the road, bringing a rotating crew of female-centric performers, writers and artists across the United States, staging cabaret-style shows in universities, bars, discos, art galleries, indie bookstores and community spaces everywhere. RADAR produces creative literary events each June as part of San Francisco the National Queer Arts Festival, and in July 2009 launches RADAR Lab, an annual writers' retreat for individuals in the process of completing a book. RADAR Productions is generously sponsored and supported by the CA LGBT Arts Alliance, the California Arts Council, San Francisco Foundation, San Francisco Arts Commission, Zellerbach Foundation, Grants for the Arts, Friends of the San Francisco Public Library, the James Hormel Center, and the Queer Cultural Center.Read More
