Friday, 4 October, 2024

1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Queer Redemption
For far too long, the lives of queer people and the life of the church have been seen as incompatible – as impossible, even, to reconcile. In recent years and in some quarters, there have been increasing moves towards inclusion and affirmation, and yet some of the fundamentals remain untouched. Queerness remains somehow alien, somehow different, and the church remains unchanged.
In this talk, author and priest Charlie Bell will ask what might happen if queerness was allowed to liberate the whole church, seen as a gift to the whole rather than something for the margins. What might happen if queer lives, loves, and relationships were taken as read, rather than treated as a matter of debate? What is this queer theology? And what might a queer-infused church look like?
Join us for an afternoon of insight and conversation.
Cost: Free but registration required.
Location: Atlantic School of Theology - President's Lodge, 630 Francklyn Street

Grease: A Drag-Along Spectacular
The incredible RougeFatale and our behind-the-scenes professionals return to bring you our third drag-along, a rendition of the 1978 classic like you've never seen before. Our previous iterations "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" raised nearly $40,000 for HEAL NS (then-named The AIDS Coalition of Nova Scotia.) We're expecting another sold-out show for our interpretation of this timeless classic.
How It Works: The film "Grease" will play on two massive projector screens on-stage, one on each side. In the middle of the stage, drag, hilarity, burlesque and gender-effery will surprise and amaze you as the classic musical parts of the film are played out live by our drag, burlesque and pantomime performers.
Tickets: Tickets are $30 for stadium seating* or $500 for a table of 10, plus fees and taxes.
