Queering the Night a monthly LGBTQI open mic invites writers and performers to rant about what it's like to be LGBTQI in a time of war and socio-economic crisis in the U.S. The event, happening at the Center for New Possibilities, 1505 W. Morse, starts off at 7 p.m. 

On Friday, September 11, we are having a short writing workshop to urge reluctant poets to share their writing. We have also invited the cast of Sister OutLaw to share excerpts from the show that just concluded its run and is gearing for its upcoming tour.

At the open mic, artists may share work that deal with race, class, gender, immigration, and other serious issues that contextualize a queer identity, but may also talk about family, love, relationships, sex, and other experiences that make for a full and exciting existence in a terribly homophobic world. Lani T. Montreal and Joey Flores host.

CENTER FOR NEW POSSIBILITIES at 1505 W Morse Avenue, ia a safe and queer-friendly space coordinated by Insight Arts, a contemporary arts organization dedicated to increasing access to cultural work that supports progressive social change. Our unique organizational model allows us to engage in community based, regional and national work.
