Queering the Archives Benefit (2024)

a fundraiser to benefit The Queens College Special Collections Archives and The Queens Memory Project

This one-night-only event featured a reading of a verbatim play created with students of CUNY Queens College in the autumn of 2023, when the Neighbors paired with the Gender, Love and Sexuality Alliance (GLASA).

Alongside students, faculty and archivists, the Neighbors turned the Alliance’s archive of journals into a verbatim documentary theater piece originally presented on campus in November 2023. This benefit raised money for the CUNY Queens College Special Collections Archives and the Queens Memory Project. Featuring direction by Sam Hood Adrain and James Clements, and sound design by Liam Bellman-Sharpe. Featuring performances by Emmy Brett, Isabel Criado, Cynthia Hu, Ashton Muñiz, Skye Pallo Ross and Keith Weiss.
