Join us for the Second Event in the Quatrefoil Programming Queer History Event Series!
“A Few Tales – Faerie & Otherwise will be Patrick Scully, on stage telling stories, his most at-home mode – honed over decades of hosting Patrick’s Cabaret.
Many people have told him: You should write a book. Here it comes, but not on paper, on stage! More storyteller than writer, he resisted writing – too much computer time! He feels most alive and at ease telling stories, like he did at Patrick’s Cabaret. Voila – “A Few Tales – Faerie & Otherwise”.
The structure of “A Few Tales…” is based on TV’s “Jeopardy”. Behind each box is a story. The audience determines the flow of the show, choosing box by box among 6 categories, with 5 choices in each category to determine the evening’s stories. The 6 categories across the top are things like: Resisting Authority, Making Queer Art, Being Gay & HIV+, Being Naked, Creating
Spaces, and Wandering. The categories at Quatrefoil will be created specifically for Quatrefoil. The vertical choices in each category – 5 decades: 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s.
Patrick has been called a provocateur, free speech champion, impresario, raconteur, choreographer, performance artist, orator, storyteller, pioneer. And activist. He’ll be onstage telling these personal stories, and more!
