Cast members in "Laced," StageQ, 2023.
The bar, the space where the play's characters felt seen and accepted, is suddenly defiled and no longer safe.
StageQ presents the long-awaited Wisconsin premiere of Laced, a new play by New York City-based playwright Samantha Mueller, originally scheduled for a fall 2021 production. Laced considers the ways the LBGTQ community can pull together when threatened, by way of a dialogue among three bartenders from a queer bar deciding how to move forward the night after the bar is vandalized (not coincidentally, Nov. 8, 2016). Shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays (4 p.m. on May 13), plus 4 p.m., May 7.
$45-$20 sliding scale.
media release: After a successful premiere in Chicago in 2022, StageQ is excited to announce the Sophomore production of “Laced.” It’s the morning after the 2016 election. A gay bar in Florida has been vandalized. Three twenty-something bartenders gather to attempt to piece together the events of the night before. Fiery and poetic, Laced ferociously celebrates the spaces in which we find our truest selves and the spectrum of ways the LGBTQ community comes together in the face of hate.
We are excited to announce the cast for our upcoming production of "Laced" by Samantha Mueller. Thank you so much to all who auditioned!
