Besides being a legendary singer whose many claims include 76 appearances singing on The Johnny Carson Show etc. Marilyn Maye has wormed her way into the hearts of the entire population of Provincetown..
For the past 9 years she has headlined the Broadway at the Art House Series in a week of sold out shows that have become a highlight of the Season. This fabulous feisty nonagenarian with her unceasing energy wows the crowd that are drawn to her remarkable talent for making every single song come so alive. She always has us totally eating out of her hands.

Kevin Devaney, Poet calls himself an itinerant poet with a typewriter penchant as he sits outside Provincetown Town Hall for most of the summer.

We interrupted him when Rik Ahlberg of Pedal Ptown Bike Tours had asked for a poem about bicycles : check out the rather beautiful result that Queerguru’s Dan Desjardins caught on film.
