Assless Chaps: A Queer Western by Joss Carlisle
2/12 at 6:00pm and 2/14 at 7pm
Assless Chaps: A Queer Western follows a group of ranch hands as they sit around a campfire telling the story of Hody, a genderless cowpoke who starts an underground clothing ring to disrupt the price gouging being done at the local general store by its owner, Clark. Assless Chaps is a story of greed, queer community, and forgiveness.

Daffodil by Eric Craft
2/13 at 6:00pm and 2/14 at 4:00pm
One day a Daffodil living in central New Jersey sees the sky for the first time. With her worldview expanded, she decides to set out to the largest human city on earth: Tokyo, Japan. On the way she meets nihilistic butterflies, a non-binary murderous cult leader, a trio of singing sailors, a jackalope, and many other very grounded and realistic characters, but sparks fly when she meets the Japanese customs officer who holds her ultimate fate in his hands. This is a story about the transformative power of seeing the world in new ways and being just the right kind of selfish.
