OH MY GOD BECKY…I”LL BE THERE!

One of my favorite SF – Queer Author -Performaner- Sex Worker Artists Kirk Read has organized this show in conjunction with The National Queer Arts Festival.

Last year’s event sold out both nights, so we’re in a larger venue for one night only as part of the National Queer Arts Festival.
