Queer Storytelling with a Twist

Kelly Jean

Get lit(erary) for Pride 2019 as fellows from Lambda Literary team up with my storytelling series No, YOU Tell It! for a night of queer nonfiction with a twist: Each participant develops their own true-life tale on the page and then trades scripts with a partner to present each other’s story on stage.

These four storytellers have been working with the No, YOU Tell It! creative team for the past month to turn out and trade tales inspired by the theme “Snapped!”

Mariam Bazeed, Lambda Literary Fellow

Kent D. Wolf, The Friedrich Agency

Robb Leigh Davis, Meditation on a Theme

Naomi Gordon-Loebl, Lambda Literary Fellow

Don’t miss this special night of queer story swapping coming up on June 11th at Dixon Place! Doors/Drinks at 7 pm. Stories start right at 7:30.

It’s FREE and oh have we got some stories for you…
