I Hate Gay Halloween 2026: A Fundraiser Party for Black Cat Theatre!

It was so nice we're doing it twice (/ forever maybe because yay traditions) -- it's I Hate Gay Halloween, Black Cat Theatre's fundraiser party! Come live your best niche, overly-referential Halloween costume dreams while supporting your fav queer cat-adjacent theatre company. What do you mean you're Sympathy is a Knife but literally? What do you mean you're Lisa Rinna as an M&M on the red carpet? The nicher, the weirder, the gayer -- the better.

Featuring a costume contest, awesome raffle prizes, drag bingo, and you!

🖤 $1 from each drink sold goes to BCT

🖤 Each general admission includes one raffle ticket. Raffle tickets are available to purchase ahead of time and at the event itself. $6/each or save when you buy multiple: 2 for $10, 3 for $12, 5 for $15
🖤 Drag bingo, costume contest, and a raffle

Can't make the event but still want to try your luck in the raffle? We've got you! Choose the "Absentee - Raffle Ticket" options, buy however many you'd like, and then email info@blackcattheatrechi.com to get a raffle item catalogue and we'll make sure to get your tickets put in the right raffle box day-of! Please note: we will offer local pickup/drop-off in Chicago but will NOT be mailing any items.
