Performance artist and playwright Kate Bornstein's Monday, Feb. 3, performance on campus has been cancelled.
Bernstein was scheduled to present "On Men, Women, and the Rest of Us" at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, in the Cameron Hall of Nations, Centennial Hall.
"The Pride Center was very excited to bring Kate Bornstein, author, playwright, and transgender activist to UW-L," says Will Van Roosenbeek, UW-L's director of LGBTQA Services and Programs.
"As many of you may know she was very ill this past year with cancer and, in fall, after treatment she got a clean bill of health and began touring again," Van Roosenbeek notes.
Berstein had surgery today to remove a lymph node and needs to resume chemotherapy. Therefore, she cancelled her visit to Wisconsin and La Crosse. "Let's keep her in our thoughts," Van Roosenbeek says.
Bornstein's autobiographical signature piece is "A Queer and Pleasant Danger," subtitled "The true story of a nice Jewish boy who joins the Church of Scientology and leaves twelve years later to become the lovely lady she is today."
The presentation was sponsored by UW-L's Pride Center, Rainbow Unity, Broadening Horizons, Campus Climate & Diversity, English Department, Multicultural Student Services and Women's Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
