Saturday, June 6th • 10:00 - 11:00 am

10 and under but all are welcome! • Join us for a joyful morning of performance and story time! Spokane’s own Duck E Loveless will take our center stage to read our hearts out. Our reading selection will be hand-picked from Spark Central’s library. Chairs and cushions available, but in limited supply so feel free to bring your own blanket to sit on.

Teens + Adults • For many queer writers, our queerness compels us to push boundaries, disrupt norms, and imagine ourselves into spaces that may not have been conceived. Creative writing often asks the same of us. With no academic background required for participation, this seminar will explore how the practice of writing intersects with the (multitudinous, rather undefinable) field of queer theory.
