Gadfly Theatre founders Immanuel Elliott and Cassandra Snow penned this performance piece that delves into the emotional experiences faced by LGBTs who feel marginalized both by society at large and others in their own community. Culled from interviews and various open submissions, Queer! consists of monologues and short scenes that explore the effects of bigotry across the entire sexual-gender spectrum, but also offers glimmers of hope for the future. Gadfly is now in its third season of presenting exciting and challenging works dealing with queer and feminist issues. Learn More

Written on Mar 07 2011We loved it! Sue, who played the mother, was fantastic. It was great to be able to laugh when the subject matter was really heavy. Well done! And it was also a treating meeting the producers, Jim and Dennis. A super evening out in St. Paul! Thanks, Barry

Written on Mar 07 2011We found "Nest" to be a very moving and fascinating story of a mother/daughter relationship complicated by brain injury and other issues. The acting was wonderful and it was a great production!

Written on Feb 25 2011This is a wonderful new play that beautifully combines a heart-wrenching story with a lot of humor and wit. It's contemporary, accessible, and with this terrific cast, it's just plain fun to watch. I was entertained from beginning to end.
