THURSDAY, JUNE 11

 

Alley Theatre ActOUT: Misery
The Alley Theatre’s beloved LGBTQ+ mixer series returns June 11 for a night that’s equal parts cocktails and psychological terror. ActOUT kicks off at 6:30 PM with music, socializing, light bites, and drinks before the 7:30 PM performance of Stephen King’s Misery. Free with your show ticket — because nothing pairs better with Pride Month than a little captivity drama. tinyurl.com/4rzajj7d

Together in Memory: A Pulse Tribute
For queer folks, the dance floor has always been more than a dance floor — it’s where this community found one another, became chosen family, and learned to be fully themselves. Ten years ago, on Latin Night at Pulse, forty-nine of our own were doing exactly that: dancing, laughing, and loving out loud. This tribute holds them close the way the community has always remembered its own — together, saying their names with love. A night that carries joy and grief in the same breath. Come as you are. Side Peace, 2811 Washington Ave. June 12. Doors 9 p.m. RSVP required. Go here to register.  free before 11 p.m.
