Even tho her talent doesn't knock me broad-side, Ellis makes me grin EVERY time I see her. Her sincerity and contagious sense of humour just make her shows really fun and engaging:

"Ellis walks on stage, flashes a bashful grin and does what she does best: singing her heart out every single time." — Dale Schiff, Just Out (Portland)

Straight Laced: How Genders Got Us All Tied Up

it's a Monday, but looks very worthwhile:

Screening of "Straightlaced - How Genders Got Us All Tied Up"
Monday, November 16th, 7:30pm
Children's Theatre Company, 2400 Third Ave. S., Mpls, 55404
General Admission ($15) Educator/Student ($8)
Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/85167
for more info: http://groundspark.org/our-films-and-campaigns/straightlaced

The heart of Straightlaced is candid interviews with more than 50 teens from diverse backgrounds.With a fearless look at a highly charged subject, Straightlaced unearths how popular pressures around gender and sexuality are confining American teens.
From girls confronting media messages about culture and body image to boys who are sexually active just to prove they arent gay, this fascinating array of students opens up with brave, intimate honesty about the toll that deeply held stereotypes and rigid gender policing have on all our lives.
