Our Queer Histories Launch Party
About this event
Our Queer Histories: An Anthology is finally here! Join the Eavesdrop team alongside anthology artists for an evening of performances, celebration, and coming together. This anthology captures more than just words on a page, but a living history, an intergenerational and intercultural collection of hardship, hope, loss, and love. These stories invite you to witness what it means—what it’s always meant—to be a queer person navigating the world. There will be several performances from Eavesdrop artists with two intermissions to enjoy light refreshments, a mocktail bar, door prizes, and more! Doors open at 5 p.m. for mingling, refreshments, and mocktails Show starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are sliding scale starting at $10. The event venue (The Other Guise Theatre, 716 Johnson Street) is a fully ground-level, step-free venue with automated entry doors featuring both foot-level and waist-height activation buttons. The main performance and lounge space is flat throughout, allowing easy movement for wheelchairs and mobility aids. There are gender neutral washrooms on site as well. All ages are welcome, but please note that some performances may contain mature themes and language. We like things spicy around here ~ Eavesdrop Magazine & Multimedia Association is a queer-operated and volunteer-run NPO based on Vancouver Island. Every ticket, book sale, donation, in-person or social share, library usage, and anything in between goes back into our arts community. Thank you for your support! W
