Nick Eibler (The Prom, Fly) & Lavender Public, in association with On The Quays, have announced Queer To Tell: a Pride Month Storytelling Series this upcoming June. Queer To Tell is a storytelling series that takes place over three weeks during Pride Month at different LGBTQIA+ owned businesses. Each show will have a different theme inspired by the venue for the evening and host a variety of Queer-identifying storytellers. Tickets are $15.
Queer to Tell was created as a way to share the wide breadth of LGBTQIA+ experience in a non-conventional, intimate yet performative way, cultivate intergenerational community, and highlight the wide variety of Queer-owned businesses and spaces thriving in New York City today. Come celebrate Pride Month with us for a wonderful night in Queer spaces, celebrating Queer voices, telling even Queerer stories!

Stories of finding success, peace, loss, love, anything that takes place in and centers this great city of ours.
