Over the course of two nights, seven queer solo performers will present original work ranging in length from 45 minutes to 15 minutes. The performers are from San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and New York. The following is a list of performers and dates:
June 20
• Alan Palmer: Chanteuse
o This is story of a gay man's struggle to avoid imprisonment by taking on his late landlord's identity and becoming a female chanteuse in the Berlin.
• Alexis Macapinlac Selleck: WE
o WE is a solo performance by Alexis Macapinlac Selleck. WE is the space where I and Thou meet. In the beginning, there was relation. Let’s call this distinction gender. Now there’s US…
• Judith Linzer: My Mother Taught Me How to Shop
o Linzer's comedic show about shopping exemplifies her relationship with her eccentric mother, a hoarder who loved to get things on sale. The topic which may appear shallow is about love, what truly has meaning, holding on and ultimately letting go.
• Kit Solowy: Aqueerious Rising
o Aqueerious Rising explores one coming-of-age story as Kit discovers their queerness through navigating a series of firsts: the first time they made contact with the spirit realm, their first time performing for an audience, and the first time they realized they were "different."
June 27
• Anthony Weeks: Albino Squirrels
o A love triangle --my taxidermist boyfriend, an albino squirrel, and me. In the midst of tumult, capture, and betrayal, we discovered hard truths about preservation, survival, and the price of setting beauty free.
• Lenys Sama: Fantasy Americana
o "I thought the Underground Railroad was put to rest in the history books. I never thought in a million years that I would help someone escape the American Dream."
• Meg Anderson: BIG GAY DEBUTANTE BALL
o BIG GAY DEBUTANTE BALL is a collection of comedic and dramatic vignettes told in dance, music and story, recounting the coming-out circus of a suburban midwestern preacher’s daughter, from the first terrifying moment of “oh no I’m gay” to the daily experience of “I promise I’m gay”.
