From nonbinary interdisciplinary theatre designer, dancer, and choreographer Desmond Kendra Wiley comes an immersive and interactive dance experience.

Integrated into the show through text are responses by nonbinary folks to an informal survey about their lived experiences. People of any gender identity are invited to join the celebration of identity, authenticity, and queerness as well as donate $10 for entry. Comfortable clothes are the suggested attire. – Jasmine Iman Wright
Cringe historians on the World Wide Web might try to downplay the historic impact of this beachy sci-fi cartoon as merely being discourse bait for the indoor queer set, but the truth is out there.

Pay tribute to this sweet series alongside host Damiana Divine in full Rose Quartz drag as fellow performers bring their own interpretations of the Crystal Gems and other Beach City denizens to the Chups stage. Plus: pop-up tattoos by Sunny of t4t tattoos, specialty SU drinks, and DJ Salem Purchase spinning. – James Scott
