Queen Stories

Join us for a night of unbridled storytelling with Joyful Raven and her bevy of Bay Area Queens. Joyful will be sharing a new story called Tactical Frivolity about growing up in the radical theater. 

Queen Stories features celebrated Bay Area poet Silvi Alcivar, hilarious rising star Daisy Crane, and Pussy Evangelist Katie Macks. Queen Stories is co-produced with well-known Bay Area comic Holly Shaw and hosted/directed by Joyful Raven. This evening promises to be a celebration of resilience, humor, and fierce storytelling.

Joyful Raven is a critically acclaimed solo performer…
