Save the date: Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ The Queer & Trans Legacy Initiative (QTLI) is launching with the first live screenplay reading of THEY, performed by professional actors. THEY is a queer coming-of-age story set on the street. After 15-year-old Jadan is thrown out of their home for being queer, they find love with Lila and a chosen family with their friend Crystal Queer. When one night shatters everything they’ve built, Jadan has to face their past, and their mother. It’s a story of resilience, chosen family, and love. AFBS is proud to sponsor this event and support QTLI+ voices πŸ“£. 🎟️ The event is free, but you need to register here: showpass.com/qtli/
