On Thursday, July 9, 2020 at
8:00pm, Harry Patrick Christian
will perform Packing by Scott
Bradley. In this play, a queer vagabond
embarks on a five-decade

quest to find where he belongs.

lap. The play is part confessional,
part stand up, and part reckoning.
On Thursday, July 30, 2020 at
8:00pm, Laura Ekstrand will perform
