Edmonton's annual Loud & Queer Cabaret began in 1991 when Catalyst Theatre's Ruth Smille teamed up with Darrin Hagen's Guys in Disguise to create a showcase of queer artists for the queer community. Twenty years later, Loud & Queer Cabaret has transformed from a modest one-night show to a spectacular two-day, three-act showcase of the very latest in LGBTQQ art and culture. Now a prime event at Exposure: Edmonton's Queer Culture Festival, the showcase has debuted over 300 pieces of performance art, many of which have gone on to great success. From the Loud & Queer Cabaret archives, discover some of the most memorable pieces from monologues to cabaret to one-act plays. Voices ring out with stories and perspectives that will make you laugh, cry, and glow with Pride. This heartfelt anthology is a testament to great courage, the celebration of art, and the power of being true to who you are. With contributions from Nathan Cuckow, Susan Jeremy, Trevor Anderson, T L Cowan, Norm Sacuta, and Laurie MacFayden, celebrate twenty years of coming together with this book.

A Drag Dynasty is about to be divined from the high life decade of decadence. It is destined, pre-ordained - and perfectly coiffed.

Beneath the layers of nightlife, stage lights and make-up lay the complex relationships of a chosen family. Both hilarious and moving, "The Edmonton Queen: The Final Voyage" once again invites readers to the exclusive party that was, and should not be missed again.
