Reviews

QUEERS! 🍑 Funny, hard hitting, breathtaking, touching, scandalous & just simply FAB-U-LOUS. To everyone involved…. Bravo

Florence Henderson

Wow, Queers, what a strong show. It’s hard to pull off monologues, but all the cast did so excellently & with such nuance. As for the story telling, it was impeccable which really resonated with me and my friends (newbies to SLT). 🍑
