Each event focuses on anecdotes and artistic expressions surrounding queer history and resilience.Upon arrival to workshops and the cabaret, attendees receive a take home memento: the “This Is Us LGBTQ+” journal, bookmark, and pen package. It is a living, breathing engagement tool for attendees, becoming historic documentation. At the end of workshops and the cabaret, attendees also have the option to place their package in a donation container given to GLAMA (Gay and Lesbian Archives of Mid-America), helping document and preserve the historic event.Who made this event possible?LSH Productions - a Kansas City-based production company creating thought-provoking experiences.Music to Life - connecting socially conscious musicians with mentors, resources and training needed to realize bold visions for community change.Rocket Grants (a program from Charlotte Street Foundation, Spencer Museum of Art, and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts) - a grant program providing direct funding to artists in the Kansas City region who are creating exceptional, under-the-radar, and artist-centered projects in public spaces.Agenda🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMPride Flag WorkshopHost: Led by Evan Maddox, founder of Triangle Head Universe🕑: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PMDrag Performance WorkshopHost: Led by Spencer Ruwe, artist behind Burly Esque🕑: 01:00 PM - 01:30 PMProgramming Break & Refreshments Served🕑: 02:00 PM - 03:00 PMMultidisciplinary Cabaret - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/kansas-city/this-is-us-lgbtq-a-celebration-of-queer-resilience/100001716811341939 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Workshops, Art, Entertainment, Music, Nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 60.16, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Kansas City - **state**: MO - **country**: United States - **location**: Our Spot KC - **lat**: 38.9820828 - **long**: -94.55508429999999 - **full address**: Our Spot KC, 2810 East 80th Street, Kansas City, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: This Is Us LGBTQ+ | a celebration of queer resilience - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/06800796f159a9bc1e827a1647059fcc75639f292d0375b8c66255e7be3c5792-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg?v=1789685170 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is This Is Us LGBTQ+ | a celebration of queer resilience being held? - **A:** This Is Us LGBTQ+ | a celebration of queer resilience takes place on Sun, 11 Oct, 2026 at 10:30 am to Sun, 11 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Our Spot KC, 2810 East 80th Street, Kansas City, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing This Is Us LGBTQ+ | a celebration of queer resilience? - **A:** This Is Us LGBTQ+ | a celebration of queer resilience is organized by musicbyskippy. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
