SUMMARY:Life is a Queer Cabaret: a night of musical theatre & queer joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a cabaret of performers challenging the typical gender roles of musical theatre pieces. Don’t miss this sellout event!\n\n\n\nWithout changing anything in the text itself (pronouns\, description\, action\, etc)\, how does an identity change the way an audience engages with a character? What does it mean for Cabaret’s Emcee to be played by a woman? For Jack Kelly to be queer? For Audrey or Seymour to be played by trans actors? \nIdentities hold significance\, and with a backlog of many cis\, often straight or straight-assumed characters\, there is value in exploring and changing the narrative of musical theatre works. Whether it be for a nuanced dramatic effect or a comedic one\, we want to see musical theatre gender-fuckery (and beyond) at play! \nFEATURING: Essential Invisible\, Wesley Beyers\, Makenna Van Raalte\, Felicia Hinojosa \, Michael Davis Arnold\, Gina Saglimbeni \, Emely Cuestas\, Jacque Bischoff\, Reva Sangal\, Cas Lam & Rogelio Castro. \nDoors at 6pm with a one hour happy hour before the performances begin at 7pm. Dorothy remains open after the show until 11pm. \nTickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. \nDorothy is 21+ and requires physical ID for all to enter. Dorothy is also ADA accessible with elevator access on Campbell Ave. If you are a guest who requires elevator access\, please wait by the black door on Campbell Ave with our logo in the window and call our staff to assist: 773-770-3799 \nPlease note: refund requests are only available until 24h before the show (11/19\, 7pm). No other refund requests will be honored.
