“Generation Q” is a reading of “I’m Just Saying” by Jeffrey Higgins, which tells the story of lifelong male friends, one gay and one straight, whose relationship is tested when one friend becomes more serious with his girlfriend. The second reading, “Swamp Gothic,” is a short play by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa that tells the story of a college student who battles zombies, voodoo and more to find his missing best friend. “WTF Happened to Baby Sister?” by Thembi Duncan is a play about two drag queens who fall on hard times and takes a look at the Harlem’s House/Ball community.
Tickets are $10 for “Generation Q” and $20 for “WTF Happened to Baby Sister?.” For more information, visit rainbowtheatreproject.com.

Washington Improv Theatre hosts ‘The Queeries’
Event to celebrate queer DMV talent and pop culture camp
The Washington Improv Theatre, along with the Mayor’s Office of LGBTQ Affairs and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington DC, will team up to host “The Queeries!” on Friday, April 26 at 9:30 p.m. at Studio Theatre.
The event will celebrate Queer DMV talent and pop culture camp. With a mixture of audience-submitted nominations and blatantly undemocratically declared winners, “The Queeries!” mimics LGBTQ life itself: unfair, but far more fun than the alternative.
The event will be co-hosted by Birdie and Butchie, who have invited some of their favorite bent winos, D.C. “D-listers,” former Senate staffers, and other stars to sashay down the lavender carpet for the selfie-strewn party of the year.
Tickets are just $15 and can be purchased on WITV’s website.
