✨⚔️ HELP US SUMMON THE TEMPEST! ✨⚔️

This December, QA&P is conjuring up a queer fantasia of Shakespeare’s The Tempest; a whirlwind of high fantasy, campy spectacle, and a Dungeons & Dragons–inspired setting that reimagines the island as a queer story of love, collaboration, and freedom.

There will be five performances at the Boston Center for the Arts from December 11–14, 2025.

Buy your tickets here.

But before the magic takes the stage, we need your help to make it happen.

Our Goal: $3,000

🌊 $2,000 – Performance space rental
🎭 $500 – Costumes, props, and set pieces
🛡️ $500 – Rehearsal space and admin support

Every dollar goes directly into creating an unforgettable queer reimagining of Shakespeare’s stormy masterpiece.
