Synopsis:
Chicago, September 2008: A group of LGBTQIA+ folks collide in one 24-hour period in this vibrant pop-punk musical about fu*king, family, and queer resistance. Through infectious tunes and heartfelt storytelling, these six people navigate desire, family bonds, and societal pressures amidst the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.

Music booker Topher is hosting the secret show of sometime lover Brody, lead singer of an about-to-be-famous band. Brody’s band is unknowingly headlining the venue’s first queer dance night, created by Topher’s current lover, Granger. Nao, the partner of Topher’s cousin Sil, sweeps in looking for guidance on how to deal with crises of love and social justice. Topher’s teen sister, Patty, stops by to pass time and gossip, learning more than she ever expected. As Topher’s apartment becomes crowded with guests expected and unexpected, Sofa King Queer raises the question: which secrets are worth revealing, and which ones should we keep to ourselves?
