SUMMARY:Nextfest 2025
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a unique experience that will make you say “wow!” Nextfest is the festival for you. \n\n\n\nNextfest is a multi-disciplinary arts festival in Edmonton put on at The Roxy Theatre (10708 124 St). Over the eleven days of the festival\, Nextfest showcases the work of emerging performing\, dance\, film\, music\, and visual artists. Nextfest has more than forty different events\, performances\, galleries\, workshops\, mentorship opportunities\, and infamous Nite Clubs for you to enjoy. Your next ‘best experience ever’ is waiting for you\, take a chance on Nextfest! \n\n\n\nJoin in on the best fest on this side of summer by embracing the experimental with us and uplifting new works. Take a risk on an experience\, make some friends\, and see creations that come straight from the minds of the next generation. Many of the artists taking part in nextfest are part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community\, and several of our events present 2SLGBTQIA+ stories such as: \n\n\n\n\nParody of a Person on Friday\, June 13 at 4:00 pm – a theatre progress showing of a musical day-in-the-life satire about gender roles\, identity\, and the high price of meeting expectations. You’ll laugh\, you’ll cry\, you’ll suddenly ask yourself why you’re rooting for murder\n\n\n\nJINXXX on Friday\, June 13 at 9:30 pm – an 18+ queer nite club that will invite attendees to don their most cursed attire to brush elbows with lady luck and indulge in music\, performance\, and art. Subvert your superstitions with immersive installations\, roving entertainment\, and a main stage showcase in the Nancy Power Theatre\, before dancing your demons away with a midnight DJ set!\n\n\n\nThe Puppet Master: Burlesque\, Drag\, Puppetry and Live Music on Wednesday\, June 11 at 8:00 pm\n\n\n\n\nNextfest marks the beginning of a long creative journey for a huge array of artists. For more than twenty years\, we have fostered the growth and learning of thousands of artists who continue to practice and create on Treaty 6 land. We embody the spirit of newness and growth while respecting the deep roots planted by those who came before us. We are a platform for emerging artists\, a meeting ground for community\, a springboard for creative invention. Mentorship\, inclusion\, learning\, creative risk\, and vulnerability are at the core of everything we stand for. \n\n\n\nAnd so\, we embrace the spirit of Tatawaw: a Cree phrase meaning “welcome\, there is room.” \n\n\n\nThe Nextfest Arts Company acknowledges that we are situated on Treaty 6 territory\, the home of the Nations of Cree\, Nakota-Sioux\, Blackfoot\, Dene\, Tsuu T’ina\, Metis\, and other Indigenous peoples who call this land home\, who have created and gathered on these lands for thousands of years. \n\n\n\nAt Nextfest\, everyone is welcome exactly as they are. Our circle continues to grow and evolve with our artists as they grow and evolve\, too. We are still learning\, and promise to continue learning from past and future generations of artists who make Nextfest possible. \n\n\n\nWe recognize and value that we are at the end and the beginning of a long line of artists\, creators\, and people living on and benefiting from this land. Nextfest takes responsibility for this ongoing relationship as we strive to listen\, learn\, and continually do better as an organization and community. \n\n\n\nWe are committed to creating new beginnings\, supporting revival\, and providing community for everyone\, as we are all Treaty People. \n\n\n\nHave a question about a performance or piece?

SUMMARY:The Gay Straight Jacket Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Gay Straight Jacket \n\n\n\nCanada 1981\, 28 min\, Dir: CBC Edmonton \n\n\n\nTHE GAY STRAIGHT JACKET is a 1981 CBC Edmonton television special that provides an unprecedented look at the city’s gay and lesbian communities at a time of heightened visibility and vulnerability following the Pisces Health Spa bathhouse raid. Through candid interviews with gay and lesbian Edmontonians\, religious leaders\, and community members\, the documentary offers a multifaceted view of the social and political climate of the early 1980s. It features rare footage from iconic spaces such as The Roost (1977-2007) and Flashback II (1977-1989) and includes a striking segment on cruising culture near Bellamy Hill. The film captures a pivotal era in Edmonton’s gay and lesbian history\, preserving voices and spaces that shaped a generation of local activism and community life. \n\n\n\nThis is a special Pride Month screening of THE GAY STRAIGHT JACKET\, featuring a curated introduction\, a panel discussion with local historians and activists\, and a public Q&A. This one-night-only event is more than a film screening—it is a community gathering aimed at fostering intergenerational dialogue about the past and future of queer life in Edmonton. Presented in partnership with Rainbow Story Hub\, the evening will also serve as a fundraiser for the organization’s work preserving and sharing 2SLGBTQ+ histories through digital storytelling and public education. \n\n\n\nFunding for this presentation made possible by the Edmonton Heritage Council and the City of Edmonton. \n\n\n\n18+ or All AgesAll ages  \n\n\n\nVenueThe Metro Cinema  \n\n\n\nAddressStreet Address : 8712 109 ST NWCity : EdmontonState/Province : AlbertaZIP / Postal Code : T6G 1E9  \n\n\n\nWebsite Linkhttps://yegqueerhistory.ca/ \n\n\n\nEvent Linkhttps://metrocinema.org/production/the-gay-straight-jacket/ \n\n\n\nTicket Linkhttps://metrocinema.org/production/the-gay-straight-jacket/ \n\n\n\nTicket Description #1Adult Ticket Amount #1$14.00  \n\n\n\nTicket Description #2Youth/Students Ticket Amount #2$11.00  \n\n\n\nTicket Description #3Seniors Ticket Amount #3$11.00  \n\n\n\nIndoor event or outdoor eventIndoors  \n\n\n\nType of eventNon-profit  \n\n\n\nIs this event presented by a College or University for students only?No  \n\n\n\nEvent ContactRainbow Story Hub Foundation  \n\n\n\nEvent Contact Email Addresscontribute@yegqueerhistory.ca \n\n\n\nFacebook Pagehttps://www.facebook.com/yegqueerhistory \n\n\n\nInstagram Accounthttps://www.instagram.com/yegqueerhistory \n\n\n\nThreadshttps://www.threads.net/@yegqueerhistory
