About this Event

Come join us at the monthly residency of at Ginger's Bar in Park Slope. The show is will be hosted by Luxury Bones and feature 5 different LGBTQIA+ storytellers telling different tales in accordance with the evening's theme. The show will run about an hour and a half, with a 10 minute intermission.

This week's theme - "THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME" - Like Glinda the Good says at the end of The Wizard of Oz, "Click your heels together three times and say 'There's no place like home.'" Home can mean so many things -- It can be a literal place: your childhood home, a home you built, an apartment you found and, over years of work, made into your own. It can be a bit more figurative: the arms of someone you love, the first time you got onstage and knew this is what you were meant to do, the coffee shop you found your community in. It can hold a great deal of happiness and joy, but can also hold pain and sadness. Whatever it may be, it is something we all seek to find and build into a place we can depend on, find comfort, and feel completely ourselves in. There truly is no place like it.

Seating begins at 7:00. Show starts at 7:30.

THE BAR IS CASH ONLY.

ABOUT THE SERIES:

Queer To Tell is a NYC born national storytelling series that features LGBTQIA+ storytellers, is hosted by a local drag/queer performance artist, and takes place at Queer-owned/affirming spaces across the country. The series takes place in non-traditional performance spaces to create a space that feels like an intimate gathering audiences are happening upon rather than a theatrical performance. Each show has a different theme that allows for storytellers to share the universal experiences we as a community share but also the nuances of our different identities. This series was established to document the myriad of stories that exist within the LGBTQIA+ community, facilitate and encourage community building, and claim space in places that are actively celebrating and protecting us.
