MAE, A condensed musical version of the original musical
"Come Up 'N See Me" by Bonnie Lee Sanders, Ellen Schwartz
and Bianca Leigh

MAE is the story of the inimitable Mae West, starting from her early days on the sidewalks of NY, through her involvement in vaudeville and the development of her unique sexual persona, her run-ins with the law, her long involvement with politician James Timony and her later career in the movies, including with W.C. Fields, is not a far cry from some of the circumstances we are faced with today.... sexual discrimination, women's rights, racism, freedom of speech and censorship.

Mae West was way ahead of her time,and MAE will delight varied audiences -- men and women of all ages. ....Hilarity with a message!

The Museum of Interesting Things is a traveling virtual or live interactive demonstration/exhibition of antiques and inventions that goes to schools, libraries and events and inspires kids and adults to be curious. We bring back tinkering. I like to say it shows kids and adults that their ipods did not pop out of thin air! Like a circus...just no elephants!

The Secret Speakeasy is a live and virtual benefit to help the Museum reach more kids and adults as well as a way for more people to see and enjoy the thingies and see 16mm films and hear vinyl records! Each week has a different historic theme.
