A scene from the StageQ production "Falsettos."
This Tony award-winning musical set during the height of the AIDS epidemic of the early 1980s has an unusual story line: a family falls apart after the husband leaves his wife for a man, and then comes together at a Bar Mitzvah after the main character is diagnosed with HIV. It’s StageQ’s season opener, and the company is partnering up with the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin to provide free HIV screenings before Wednesday night performances.
7:30 pm on 9/29-30, 10/4-7 & 11-13 and 2 pm, 10/8 & 14.

StageQ is excited to announce that we will be partnering with the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin (ARCW) to provide free HIV screenings prior to the Wednesday night performances of our fall musical, “Falsettos!” We couldn’t be more pleased at StageQ to have ARCW on board. They have been so supportive and just as excited about providing this service to our community as we are. In uncertain times, StageQ looks to become a safe-space to our community, queer and ally alike. With this aim, StageQ is excited to offer this service to our amazing Madison community along with the amazing story of family, love, and bravery that is “Falsettos”.
Doors will open to the Bartell lobby at 5:30pm and screenings will be on a first come, first serve basis until 7pm.
