“Generation Q” is a reading of “I’m Just Saying” by Jeffrey Higgins, which tells the story of lifelong male friends, one gay and one straight, whose relationship is tested when one friend becomes more serious with his girlfriend. The second reading, “Swamp Gothic,” is a short play by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa that tells the story of a college student who battles zombies, voodoo and more to find his missing best friend. “WTF Happened to Baby Sister?” by Thembi Duncan is a play about two drag queens who fall on hard times and takes a look at the Harlem’s House/Ball community.
Tickets are $10 for “Generation Q” and $20 for “WTF Happened to Baby Sister?.” For more information, visit rainbowtheatreproject.com.
