Queer Compost: A Storytelling Fundraiser

19 November 2024 to 22 November 2024 Old Fitz, 129 Dowling St, NSW, Australia. A$29.24

FRUIT BOX THEATRE is partnering with THE PLUNGE to bring you four summer nights of good old fashioned storytelling at the Old Fitz. Each night features five storytellers spinning tales from their queer lives inspired by one of our fruity prompts. Join us as we fundraise for another year of theatre magic from the Fruit Box community.

Please note: all ticket pricing now includes GST.

The Prompts:

• Tuesday 19 November: Seed

The pansies you grew from Bunnings seeds. The seed of genius in your bonkers idea. Perhaps you're in the market for a sperm donor? Or have a breeding kink? We want to know!

• Wednesday 20 November: Tender

Tender memories. Tenderness between siblings, frolleagues or housemates. Evidence or receipts you're dying to tender. Do you have memories of a tender kiss at a tender age?

• Thursday 21 November: Rot

Rot days. Rotting garbage. Does your housemate leave meal prep to rot at the back of the fridge? Perhaps a rotten relationship slowly soured? Did your mother spoil you rotten?

• Friday 22 November: Abundance

When God said "be fruitful and multiply", is this what she meant? We want to hear about excess! Your abundance of bad dates, student debts and *big dreams*. Your bountiful veggie patch and lavish sock collection. Maybe you're blessed with too much sex, luck or money? Is there any such thing?!

Have a story to tell? Message us at @fruitboxtheatre or email us at hello@fruitboxtheatre.com.au 🍎. Not sure if you have a story? Contact us anyway! We'll talk you through it. Don't have a story? Buy your ticket to come along and listen!

Hosts & Producers: Madeleine Gandhi, Sean Landis and Sionna Maple

Storytellers: Your barista, your ex, your work wife, your high school English teacher, your bouldering buddy, the cousin you only see at Christmas, your neighbour's dog-walker... You?
