To open broader conversation about LGBTQ visibility, StageQ will be hosting talk back sessions and a photography exhibit. Dick Wagner, local historian, activist and civic leader, will be leading talk-back sessions on April 22, 27 and 30 that explore the McCarthy era history in Wisconsin.
The photography exhibit "Sight Unseen," co-sponsored by LeDame Footwear, brings together the works of Natalie Kirk and Kyle Krueger, both with Wisconsin roots, in a joint exhibit that visually explores gender biases as well as LGBTQ sexual violence. This exclusive exhibit and reception will be held April 7 at the Madison Masonic Center and will include a silent auction fundraiser to benefit StageQ. A selection of photos from exhibit will be on display in the lobby of the Bartell Theatre during the run of “Perfect Arrangement.”
