OUT of Site, San Francisco's performance-driven queer history tour, returns this summer with a dazzling new edition starring award-winning actor Tina D'Elia. Following the sold-out tours of North Beach and South of Market, this year's edition reveals the untold queer history of the neighborhood of Haight-Ashbury, a name synonymous worldwide with the hippie counterculture that emerged here in the 1960s.
SF/Arts Curator Insight
This is the third in Eye Zen’s “OUT of Sight” series—it’s the Haight-Ashbury installment, involving a queer historical walking tour of the iconic neighborhood. Local actor and queer/trans advocate Tina D’Elia leads the tour, playing two key figures from the fabled 1960s and ’70s: Janis Joplin’s lover and hippie-about-town Peggy Caserta and the Cockettes’ beloved Hibiscus. Longtime local writer Michelle Carter penned the script; Seth Eisen directs.
