Queer and Feminist Theatre For All!

Thanks so much for your continued support of Gadfly Theatre! We had such a blast in March with the debut of "I'm Never Going to Earth Again: 60 Queer Plays in 90 Minutes" in March and are wrapping the final weekend of Final Frontier Festival: In A World now. These have been two of our most successful projects ever when it comes to having community voices heard AND ALSO bringing some much needed levity and love and laughter to an often heady queer discourse.


In March we're bringing the love & laughter hard with a farce called Lipstick by Lane Michael Stanley. Stanley is a brilliant playwright with a lot of deep, engaging work who is also a stunning comedic mind. Lipstick is a queer rom-com with a truly unique cast of characters trying to figure out life, love and sexuality in our modern day. The show brings joy and accessibility to an ever changing, often heady discourse.

Gadfly also has TWO secret, big fun projects we're dreaming and scheming up as we speak including a regular series where we'll have two co-producers & an annual play experience you'll be so excited to hear about. Those announcements are coming later this winter.


We need your help making all of this art magic happen though! Gadfly has consistently produced high quality work while substantially underfunded and under-supported. We absolutely love what we do, but it is financially very fragile. Your donation ensures solid venues, work by and for queer artists, and artists getting paid real money! 


Gadfly Theatre Productions produces queer and feminist art that everyone can laugh, cry, and relate too. We are currently on our NINTH season of highlighting stories and voices of LGBTQ+ people and marginalized women in 2019. Gadfly stand for anti-racism, anti-transphobia and anti-all other queerphobias, fighting the patriarchy and so, so much more. We also stand for giving those affected by hatred and institutionalized marginalization a platform they can use to tell their version of their story and whatever else they deem important.


We are beyond ecstatic to create a space that produces passionately progressive work, and to create that work ourselves. Visit our website at http://www.gadflytheatre.org/ for more information about pending events. Thank you in advance for your generous gift to this unique and radical theatre company.

*Please note that all money raised DOES go to Gadfly Theatre Productions except for a small processing fee used by GiveMN and Strike Theater to ensure that your donation is tax deductible. We have changed fiscal sponsors, so it says "Strike Theater" where it used to say "Patrick's Cabaret" We are fundraising for our own work, but it is their 501(c) 3 that allows us to do so while we work towards having our own. Thanks to Strike for doing that for us, and thank to YOU for donating to our eighth season.
