OutSpoken ($19.95, Playwrights Canada), the collection of lesbian scenes and monologues gathered by NOW's Susan G. Cole, launches this week with a star-packed set of readings. Mariko Tamaki, trey anthony, Moynan King, Sonja Mills (weather permitting - she lives in Owen Sound) and others hit the stage at Buddies in Bad Times Monday (February 1) at an event that, like the book, surveys theatre works by some of Canada's best writers.
