Fire Island Beach Day Blow Out with National Queer Theater

About

National Queer Theatre is celebrating the inaugural Fire Island Theater Festival with a Beach Day Blow Out! All are welcome :) NQT is putting on two staged readings in the Fire Island Theater Festival. To celebrate we are arranging a fun day trip to Cherry Grove to enjoy the beach, see the readings, and toast to the end of Summer. Not sure how to get there? We got you. We're handling all the details for getting to Fire Island, attending the staged readings, and getting you home. Your ticket covers roundtrip LIRR, shuttle bus, and roundtrip ferry tickets. Already on the island? The readings themselves are free! For those purchasing the donor ticket, you will receive reserved seating, a free cocktail, and a chance to meet the artists!
