aGLIFF Presents: Obsession, desire, and budding sexuality at a 19th-century finishing school for girls.

Created for the trans and queer qmmunity, this month’s discussion turns to Che Gossett’s essay “Blackness and the Trouble of Trans Visibility,” a chapter of Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility; edited by Tourmaline (fka Reina Gossett), Eric A. Stanley, and Johanna Burton (The MIT Press, 2017).

This new adaptation of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire tale is a sensual fantasy with a surprising twist: a bold heroine who dares to defy the ruler of the night. "Seductive, romantic, and empowering, this foray to the dark side is a juicy date-night," we're advised – and that seems, yup, just about right. Written and directed by Steven Dietz for Zach Theatre, with a kickass cast featuring Sarah Kimberly Becker as Mina Harker and Keith Contreras-McDonald as the titular bloodsucker.

Catch local artist Ayla Erdener’s solo show celebrating the queers and the qmmunity that have shaped her life today.

Mix one part drag show, one part variety, and a generous amount of fun, and you get the Sabel Show. Each month, you’ll see a rising star, a local favorite, a state favorite, and someone from outside Texas! But we promise you’ll never see the same show twice. – A. Micah Mills
