National Queer Theatre is celebrating the inaugural Fire Island Theater Festival with a Beach Day Blow Out! All are welcome :)About this Event
NQT is putting on two staged readings in the Fire Island Theater Festival. To celebrate we are arranging a fun day trip to Cherry Grove to enjoy the beach, see the readings, and toast to the end of Summer.

by Lee Cataluna, with original story and additional material by Les J.N. Mau
Directed By Jeff LiuStarring Les J.N. Mau and Chris Chinn
Two gay American Asians in their 60’s coincidentally meet each other in a Honolulu cemetery visiting the gravesite of the mother of one and the husband of the other. They strike up a conversation that initially begins sharing experiences as primary caregivers. Will it lead to a possible relationship? But one is the caregiver for his father and the other is still grieving the loss of his husband.
The 365 Party Girl and Saint Mary Francis (Staged Reading @ 7pm)
By Chidube Egbo
Directed By Cooper HowellStarring Tyler Bey, Blake Brewer, and Nesziah Dennis
Sex. Prayer. Hot DJs. Life is hard when you just want to party, but Jesus is seeking his first husband (and he wants YOU)! Packed with celibacy, mean nuns, and near-death experiences, The 365 Party Girl and Saint Mary Francis is a hilarious new play which questions whether queer friendship can survive pull of fame, God, and the dance floor.
