Queers in Your Ears

Do you remember those magical moments when your grandmother told you fairy tales, transporting you to a world of wonder?

Join Qu**rs In Your Ears as they trade halos for horns, indulge in the seven deadly sins—and wickedly add a few of our own. After all, QIYE has always proven that a little sin never hurt anyone… much.

🎟️ Tickets are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door.
💻 This show will be live-streamed. Live-stream tickets are $20.

You can also purchase 5-Show Flex Pass, or Day Passes!

When we came of age as 2SLGBTQIA+ storytellers, we realized something was missing. In 1997, Rico Rodriguez founded Qu**rs In Your Ears, a storytelling collective dedicated to telling stories about being q***r—stories that had long gone unheard. QIYE focuses on original material, embracing a vibrant range of q***r voices and perspectives—from personal histories to reimagined fairy tales—pushing boundaries and bringing bold new dimensions to the art of storytelling.

QIYE is a platform where our q***r tales thrive, provoke, and inspire.
