Laced

Written by Sam Mueller
Directed by Chris Diorio
Produced by StageQ Inc

Community Sponsors: Delta Beer Lab, the Dane County Arts Commission, & the Evjue Foundation

After a successful premiere in Chicago in 2022, StageQ is excited to announce the Sophomore production of “Laced.” It’s the morning after the 2016 election. A gay bar in Florida has been vandalized. Three twenty-something bartenders gather to attempt to piece together the events of the night before. Fiery and poetic, Laced ferociously celebrates the spaces in which we find our truest selves and the spectrum of ways the LGBTQ community comes together in the face of hate.

for the places I’ve danced with reckless abandon
for the people who have spun me across a floor
for Stonewall
for Pulse
for every bar in between
for every bar before and after
for you
yes, you
if you’re reading this,
it’s for you
my boots are laced for you

This production contains loud dance music, flashing lights, intense blackout moments, and water-based haze.
