Portland Queer Arts

That’s a wrap on another Spectacular year! Thank you to all of our talented artists: BinKyee Bellflower, Austin Bowles, The Poet Lady Rose🌹, Obscura Fox, Mak Kastelic, Lav 🪻, Stellan Krynski, Joel Turner, Luigi Boccia-Flood, Steven, @6.peice_chicken.mic_nobody, and Jaidin ⪩༏⪨ ⋆˚꩜｡☾☀︎! Our third annual Spectacular was truly beautiful with each of your stories of the World We Create together. As always, we could not have done the show without our talented Production Manager, Kimo Camat, our amazing Stage Manager Colin Herring, and our incredible stage hands, Ava Schmidt, Annika E., Mia Webster, and seb lockhart. And a special thanks to Daniel Switzer, Broadway Actor for leading this year’s show with kindness, love, and generosity. We hope to see you all again soon!

This weekend, Alberta Rose Theatre will be blessed with a kaleidoscope of q***r talent at the Portland Q***r Arts Spectacular. 🌈✨

I can’t wait to share the stage with these beautiful, brilliant performers and celebrate the art, joy, and love that make our community so special.

The love is pure. The heart is sure. And the stage is ready. 💖
