But we made it work pretty well for 4+ years… until the pandemic and some serious water damage to the space made it uninhabitable.įootlight was/is a queer owned and mostly queer-operated space. We opened in July 2016 on Seneca–after a long, irritating process with our landlord that took over a year, from signing the lease to opening the doors. He makes a Zine for Footlight to help advertise. My husband / partner Tim is more of the visual artist I dabble. But I have a side project that has yet to get started, but hopefully now will be called STAB. Naw… unfortunately my drummer moved to Berlin. I played as Bridget and the Squares (BatS) here in NYC from 2009-2013, and in HAWT ME$$ from 2012 on. After school, I played in bands and toured. I was in the first graduating class at Boston Arts Academy, and luckily went on to a full scholarship to Berklee College of Music in Boston. I started playing guitar and piano when I was 11. I could always sing, and had a natural predilection for attracting attention to myself. I started out in musical theater as a kid. I see you’ve been busy! Before we discuss Footlight, can you tell us what your background in music is? I am just happy to be safe, healthy and working again so far. Regan: Summer 2021 is certainly better than 2020, but not super fabulous yet. Covid and construction woes forced the venue’s untimely close, but now a new and more intimate space brings Footlight’s unique platform back to the community once again. Regan opened the Footlight, she created a safe, queer and interesting space for performing artists of all genres in residential Ridgewood, Queens.
