Wanted: X-Cheerleaders, a community-based performance group, will come to Nassau Community College on Wednesday, March 24, 2 p.m. Wanted: X-Cheerleaders, described as a "post-feminist pep rally," takes a hard look at this perennially perky American gender icon by a group of ex-cheerleaders ranging in age from 23 to 51. Together they have created new cheers, chants and movements to redefine the activity of cheerleading and to explore personal issues such as sexuality, aging, motherhood, self-esteem, harassment and inequality.

Wanted: X-Cheerleaders has been a part of the National Performance Network at Duke and NC State Universities and has toured throughout the United States. The X-Cheerleaders 'teamed up' with the Institute for Labor and the Community to conduct 'Cheering for Ourselves' workshops for the Girls Project (NYC public school girls) and the Working Women's Project (9 to 5 National Association of Working Women).

This program is sponsored by the Nassau Community College Cultural Program. The program will take place at the NCC College Center. Admission is free and the public is invited. All programs are accessible to the disabled. For more information about the NCC Cultural Program, call Phyllis Kurland, 572-7153.
