The EFCT Queerceañera is a fundraiser for our upcoming 15th season that will provide a space where attendees can enjoy a quinceañera-inspired party, with inclusivity for gender-nonconforming, trans, and queer folx to show up as they would like to. We are also committing to donating 15% of the event donations to ALMA Chicago, a Chicago-based organization advocating for the fair treatment and equality of the Latinx LGBTQ+ community. As a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization that aims to create an inclusive space for theatre artists and audiences of all genders, sexualities, races, and ethnicities to engage with theatre, ALMA Chicago's mission is one EFCT cares about.
This party will include entertainment related to EFCT’s past and future productions, including performances from LGBTQIA+, Latine artists, and allies, as well as music, raffles, and, of course, the ability to enjoy drinks and food available for purchase at My Buddy’s.*** Attendees are encouraged to dress up in their dream Queerceañera outfit! Ballgown? Yes. Tux? Yes. Suit jacket and a tulle skirt? Anything you want! Break out those tiaras, sashes, and scepters. Dress it up or come casual. We welcome every style.
***Outside of those included in the event ticket price.

OUR MISSION
Eclectic Full Contact Theatre was formed in 2011 with a dual purpose:
Bring visceral and engaging entertainment to a wide-ranging and diverse audience irrespective of style, subject, medium, or period. (“Eclectic”)
Foster a greater connection to, and understanding of, theatre in our audiences through providing them access to the behind-the-scenes workings of putting on a show through both in-person (attending read-thrus and specific rehearsals) and online (videos/photos of rehearsals as well as construction and tech) means (“Full Contact”)
Since its inception, EFCT has expanded on those two driving forces, increasing the scope of its productions through festivals highlighting not only standard one-act plays, but also live Foley and Theatre for Young Audiences as well as developing an entire audio production wing with two currently running audio drama podcasts. We have sought to expand the scope of our offerings by actively seeking out and developing relationships with women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ writers, directors, designers, and actors.
