About

Lovell Holder presents The Book of Luke, a grounded portrait of reinvention, second chances, and the price of facing your past. Ten years after a scandal ended his first stint on the reality competition Endeavor, Luke Griffin returns to the show desperate for a financial lifeline—only to confront bitter rivalries, shattered friendships, and the guilt he's spent a decade burying. Combining the fabulous drama of The Traitors with the physical intensity of The Challenge, this event explores what it really means to reinvent yourself when the internet never forgets. A perfect evening for anyone who loves reality TV, queer storytelling, and characters learning the hard way that you can't outrun your past.

Witches of the Wheel

Tuesday, October 20th, 2026

7:00 PM

Lindsay Merbaum reads from her metaphysical mystery Witches of the Wheel, a spellbinding tale woven through mythology, bartending, and queer belonging. Follow Gold as she discovers her supernatural gifts—the ability to see ghosts and read secrets—and stumbles into The Wheel, a literally-underground lesbian bar where a coven gathers and each entrance demands a painful sacrifice. A haunting exploration of magic, community, and finding home in the most unexpected places.

Swana Dykes

Thursday, October 22nd, 2026

7:00 PM

SWANA Dykes is a bold anthology of creative work by lesbians and queer folks from South West Asian and North African (SWANA) diasporas. Editors Khadija Pitts-Ceesay and Nikki Luna deftly assemble creative and artistic works that envision a world beyond militarized borders and that reflect the powerful and poignant ancestral narratives that these artists preserve through their work.

Tricyclist

Thursday, November 5th, 2026

7:00 PM

It's San Francisco in the early aughts, and Howie Song is floundering. His failed projects—as a professional ballet dancer, as a boyfriend, as a friend—have left him forever the "third wheel." But maybe he likes it that way? Leaping wildly between lovers, centuries, and an ever-changing cultural landscape, Howie might just feel most himself in the fracture. Delicious, poetic, and delightfully pornographic, Tricyclist is an ode to the "abnormal angles" of people and art.
