Season 1-11

Let's Have a Satanic Orgy!
featuring the Satanic Doo-Wop of Twin Temple, Devised and Directed by Connar Klock
Featuring the music of Twin Temple, Let’s Have A Satanic Orgy! is a night of vignettes centered around sexual liberation and total freedom from expected and often Puritan norms. The music of Twin Temple is based in the Satanic Temple’s vision of a world free from the dogma of Christianity and accentuates our bodily liberty. With so much vitriol against our community comparing us to devil worship, telling us we’re going to hell, Twin Temple replies, “Yes, and?” while strutting away laughing…and does so with beautiful vocals and electric 50s-60s blues and rock and roll! A true bacchanal, this show is carefully placed in October, near the Satanic Temple’s high holiday of Halloween, which the Satanic Temple website describes as a “holiday to celebrate indulgence and embrace the darkness and its aesthetic,” this show can be taken in by folks committed and campy alike culminating in a fun night for all. For audiences 18+

Taproot: A Play on Justice & Judgment
by v.f. thompson
Set over the course of an informal meeting of an activist organization to discuss allegations against one of their members, Taproot is a full length one act play with an intermission that chronicles the tribulations and breakdown of an activist group as they struggle to process something that feels impossible to wrangle. As they argue about the proper response, tensions grow and unspoken feelings burst to the surface. By the end of the night, there are less answers than how they began, and the shape of each character's world is different.

A Queer Crescendo
produced by Syd West
A Queer Crescendo brings together several local queer composers for a night of music and revelry as we put together a classical concert featuring new works.

Turnover: A New Leaf
by David Quang Pham
A plant-based musical comedy about how two neighboring families, rooted in prejudice, overturn their views when their queer kids start rooting for each other. Set in the fictional nation of Woodwork that is inhabited by photogenic plants, Malus Crabapple is the FigLeaf nightclub owner who sees transplants as invasive. Meanwhile, Rau Ram is the Salontro salon owner who is trying to earn her Green Card. She teaches her natural-born citizen son Parsley that queerness is unnatural. When a free-spirited pear named Pyrus visits town to spend the summer with their unty Malus, Parsley befriends Pyrus and starts showing his queer self (his mother’s transgression). TURNOVER plants coming-of-age themes of family dynamics, immigrant assimilation, performative activism, body image, and the duality between nature versus nurture.

BIcycle
by Brooke Lindley
Belle Linden is a writer who mainly writes fiction but she decided to take the jump and write about her experiences being bisexual and biracial. Although she feels like it should be easy because it is her life, she is coming to terms how it feels to not be enough or always wanting more.

Shedding the Antlers
by Eric Braman
Dani is experiencing an identity crisis that weighs heavy on their mind, body, and spirit when White, a white-tail deer, appears in their home. White pulls Dani into a warehouse of memories where Dani explores the intricacies of their identity and fights for the confidence to become their true self. Shedding the Antlers is a Queer theatrical exploration of memory, remembrance, and the moments that drive us toward liberation.

Pillow Fortress
by Aysha Zackria
Three college classmates receive an alert that someone has just escaped the local jail. Chelsea has a penchant for the law. Ry advocates for prison abolition. Jordan is just scared shitless. They try to prepare for what might happen if they encounter the escapee, but find out they need to face each other first. Pillow Fortress is part polemic, part slumber party, and all chaos.

The Movement
by Raquel Hellenga
Much like a thread, once you start pulling, before you know it you’ve unwound an entire tapestry. This show is a dance expression of pulling that thread, and examining each of the areas of the creator's experience, and the universal queer experience, and how she's amalgamated those lessons into something meaningful. It’s that movement through those transformations, personally, politically, and physically in this project that help us make meaning.
Through seven themed dance pieces that each utilize portions and pieces of a number of songs, she takes the watcher through the internal/external transformative journey one piece of life at a time.
