*Gadfly Theatre Productions Presents “QUEER!” *

*Throughout the Month of January QUEER! is BACK!*

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.

*About Gadfly Theatre Productions: *

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.
