TELL is a monthly queer storytelling show hosted and curated by Drae Campbell. It is the longest running event at the Bureau! 10 years and going. Each month there is a different theme and a different line up of queer artists who tell true stories from their lives on a theme.
The theme for January is Having Fun!, featuring storytellers Kelli Dunham, Frankie Vaughan, and Nonye Brown-West.
