QT Cabaret

It’s always darkest before the dawn, you don’t miss the heat until it’s gone, the queers have hibernated from the coldest day, now they emerge to get on stage and be really, REALLY gay.
QT offers up their gender nonconforming slice of cake, to The Winter Light Festival we celebrate, show casing new acts, new talents, and old favorites running the old gamuts. Get ready for a night that will make you laugh cry and scream, Put on your warm coat and dancing shoes and get ready to yell “slay qween!”
It’s one night only so book in advance, leaving tickets until the night is a dangerous chance.

She has a tendency to write about love, lust, and loss, with a style reflecting reactions of your various ex partners.
