Gadfly Theatre to bring pop-up queer performances to Minneapolis

Gadfly Theatre Productions, a queer and feminist theatre group, is holding a series of pop-up performances throughout Minneapolis in January.

The production, called “QUEER!”, will tell “the stories of people within the LGBTQ community—stories of marginalization, oppression, and triumph.”

The production originally debuted at the Bisexual Organizing Project’s 2013 Because Conference in Minneapolis.

“It has been rewritten for 6 actors playing multiple parts and one drag queen MC as well to stay current on issues important to this community,” Gadfly co-founder Cassandra Snow said in a press release announcing the production.

Appearing in QUEER! will be Beckett Love, BethAnne Nelson, Dana Lee Thompson, Immanuel Elliott, Nikolas Martell, and Nora Paige Huxtable.
