Making Space for Celebration

Alongside our mainstage and artistic development programming, our home on 12 Alexander Street plays host to the full gamut of queer performance and community events throughout the year: from concerts to clown shows, and poetry readings to pageants. Stop by any day of the week and you’ll find something different. As queer spaces in the community dwindle, Buddies remains an accessible and affordable space for artists and community organizations to host their events.

And of course, Buddies wouldn’t be Buddies without our weekly parties and annual Queer Pride Festival, including the 2-Spirit Cabaret in partnership with Native Earth Performing Arts. Tallulah’s Cabaret is a place where communities come together to celebrate, to remember, and to create new futures together. As we mark our 45 years of Buddies this season, stay tuned for an anniversary series of one-offs, readings, concerts, and parties in May, celebrating our histories and imagining the possible futures of this theatre and the communities who make it what it is.
