QUEERING THE SCREEN
In partnership with Coolidge Corner Theatre
Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil
Based on John Berendt's bestselling book, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil follows a journalist who arrives in Savannah, Georgia, only to find himself immersed in a world of eccentric personalities, Southern intrigue, and a sensational murder trial. Among the film's most unforgettable figures is the legendary Lady Chablis, who appears as herself in a magnetic, scene-stealing performance that introduced audiences around the world to one of Savannah's most beloved cultural icons. Funny, fearless, and unapologetically authentic, Lady Chablis remains at the heart of the film's enduring legacy.

“Queer [Re]Public is a bold, joyful declaration of everything we believe theatre can be,” Des Bennett, TTO’s Queer [Re] Public programs manager, said in a statement. “From aerial dance storytelling to Afro-Indigenous music-infused readings, interactive workshops, and powerful artist conversations, this festival is about more than performance. It’s about amplifying the work of queer and trans BIPOC artists in all their intersectional brilliance. We’re honoring the artistry that’s transforming our stages, launching a civic platform rooted in liberation, and acknowledging Greater Boston’s LGBTQ+ arts sector as a national force for innovation. This is theatre redefined—and a call to action.”
