SUMMARY:Blue Dress
DESCRIPTION:Blue Dress is a gay mashup play that reimagines Alice from Wonderland and Dorothy from Oz as lesbians. After stumbling through a looking glass\, the two team up to find their way home. But as they encounter familiar characters and shifting realities\, they discover that belonging means knowing who they are and dismantling the roles they’ve been assigned. Blending camp\, comedy\, and emotional honesty\, Blue Dress explores identity\, queer friendship\, and the courage it takes to tell your own story.

SUMMARY:Blue Dress
DESCRIPTION:Blue Dress is a fast-paced queer meta-fantasy that unites Alice from Wonderland and Dorothy from Oz in a shared\, unstable world where familiar rules no longer apply. As they search for a way home\, the two encounter strange characters\, shifting realities\, and growing tensions that challenge how they see themselves and each other. What begins as an adventure becomes something deeper as both are forced to question the roles they’ve been assigned and whether they’re willing to break from them. Blending camp\, comedy\, and emotional honesty\, Blue Dress explores identity\, friendship\, and the courage it takes to define your own story. \nThis show runs Fridays in June at 7:30pm at Annoyance Theatre. 90 minutes.

SUMMARY:Q Force: May Q Salon
DESCRIPTION:If you’re frustrated by our country’s crawl towards authoritarianism\, you’re not alone. Unfortunately\, America is not unique in its struggle against wannabe dictators and authoritarians. People across the globe have been resisting authoritarians for centuries. \nAnd\, thankfully\, many of them have succeeded and left behind lessons for us to learn and implement here in the US. \nWhat are those lessons? That’s what we’re discussing in our next salon. Retired judge\, activist\, Political Science professor\, and Q Forcer Jim Snyder will lead us through recent successes in resisting illiberal and authoritarian states\, what lessons we can learn from their resistance\, and how we can implement them here at home. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, May 26 at the Annoyance Theatre for: We Aren’t Alone: Lessons From Those Who Have Resisted Authoritarians And Won. \nAs always\, doors will open at 6pm and we’ll start the meeting at 6:30pm.

SUMMARY:Coming Out to Dead People
DESCRIPTION:Following sold-out shows & multiple rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe and London’s Off-West End Soho Theatre\, comedian Ricky Sim (@rickeerick) brings ‘Coming Out To Dead People’ to Annoyance – a chaotic stand-up about growing up as a gaysian immigrant in NY\, to coming out to his conservative Chinese-Malaysian mom… just as she’s diagnosed with cancer. Talk about good timing. Combining stand-up and storytelling\, an autobiographical hour explores grief\, cleft-palates\, secrets to the grave\, and why you should not be thinking about your ancestor when having gay sex.
