Heathers: A Live Reading

My Son’s A Homosexual, And I Love Him…

There’s ONE true queen bee of high-school dark comedy, and that’s HEATHERS. And now, Theatre Contra is taking this cult-classic script of teen angst, croquet, and casual homicide and performing it LIVE!

Get ready for a night of savage one-liners, color-coded tyranny, and a love story so toxic only Winona Ryder could pull it off. So pull on your scrunchies, hop in a go-kart and prepare for an evening of beautifully bitchy mayhem as we bring this deliciously dark masterpiece to life.

Gothic Social // September 2025

Gothic social is a dance party for like-minded, music oriented, and often queer enjoyer of the
goth subculture and dance. Pulling away from the typical club vibe and something closer to an
after school club with a focus on making friends and dancing freely. Among other activities, the
event plans to host multiple drag performances and GoGo dancers to get the crowd hyped. We
are so excited to be using tattooed moms as our venue space, couldn’t imagine a better
collaboration.
