get down with REAL QTs!

Real QTs is a multi-genre showcase of intersectional lgbtq performing artists that honors and reps how multitudinous and interconnected the categories “trans*” and “queer” can be. Our aim is to create a space for off-the-margins queer and trans voices that often go unheard given a general privileging of cis, white, economically-advantaged experiences.

it’s a raw/emotive/raunchy/REAL event that celebrates our many talents, experiences, and intersecting identities.
