Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil on stage through August 11
Written by Rebecca Racean
Our seductive new musical, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil has been extended by popular demand through August 11. When you come to enjoy a performance of this exciting and interactive production, stop by one of our bars and try a specialty cocktail (or mocktail) in support of the LGBTQ+ community. 20% of net sales for specialty drinks–the Bonaventure Brew, Windy City Mint Julep and The Lady Chablis–will go to Gender Fucked Productions.
About Gender Fucked Productions
Gender Fucked Productions advances trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming (TGNC) equity through creating inclusive spaces, uplifting artists, and coalescing radical community. GFP produces multi-disciplinary artistic performances through our projects Queer Dance Freakout, Trans Voices Cabaret, Puppetqueers, It’s Alive!! (New Works Development), and We Are Dance Collective. GFP also hosts trans, enby community meetups for artists all over the city (including our trans beach party, They Beach).
Mission
We envision a world where trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming artists are able to thrive and make art that pushes beyond any binary we could imagine. We believe that now more than ever, trans stories matter. It is vital that we share stories of trans joy, resilience, and connection in this era in which trans people have been under attack on all fronts. Gender Fucked Productions hopes to be a major contributor to trans resilience here in Chicago and beyond. We strive to create art centered on collectively imagining a future centered on abolition of the oppressive systems we currently live in.
Thank you for your support!
Through the run of our last show, English, we raised $786.70 in bar proceeds toward Chicago Persian School.
So far this season, we’ve raised $9,782.63 in community support for various organizations. This is all thanks to our wonderful Bar Manager, Oonagh Kelly, along with our lovely patrons enjoying these drinks while paying it forward.
We appreciate your support and look forward to sharing more about the exciting organizations we’ll be partnering with in the upcoming 24/25 Season!
