QUEER! is making a comeback all across the Twin Cities with pop up performances at some of your favorite neighborhood venues! Partnering with some amazing organizations here in the metro, we have been able to bring QUEER! to 3 entirely new venues in January. All venues only cost $10 (although you are more than welcome to give give give so much more if you are able).

QUEER! was conceived in house based on over a hundred submissions and interviews, and tells the stories of people within the LGBTQ community-stories of marginalization, oppression, and triumph. QUEER! premiered at the Bisexual Organizing Project's Because Conference, and was recognized by Lavender as Outstanding Achievement in Performance Art for it's June 2013 run. It has been rewritten or 6 actors playing multiple parts and the one drag queen MC as well as to stay current on issues important to this community. So join us for a Gadfly original and let's support our community together.

Gadfly Theatre Productions is currently in their third season of queer, feminist, and experimental art. The troupe provides an artistic haven for audiences and artists alike, a place to explore, create, and open safe dialogues about LGBTQIA* and feminist issues. The company also zeroes in on inequities that queer and new artists face, providing one-of-a-kind opportunities for self-expression and exploration. Gadfly breaks binaries and establishes community, seeking to prove that all persons on the spectrum deserve a voice, a stage, and a story they can relate to. Gadfly Theatre Productions, rooted in Minneapolis and led by Cassandra Snow and Immanuel Elliott, produces three-four shows per year, with audiences coming from all walks of life to see the company's work.
