Thank you for joining us for our 2019 Q Ball! Check out our gallery of photos and stay tuned to see what’s in store for next year.

All of us at Quantum Theatre invited you to explore the enduring power of love. The impish forests of Shakespeare’s lovers, the hazy dens of the 1960s, and the dark ether of the future invited guests to experience love in all its forms in an evening of intimate performance among confidantes and courtesans.

VIP’s delighted in the joyful sounds of the Afro Yaqui Music Collective, discovered entrancing and ephemeral performances, enjoyed exquisite food from Kate Romane’s Black Radish Kitchen, and imbibed specially crafted cocktails. Cupid turned a blind eye as we danced the night away with DJ Big Phill (@djbigphill) and Quantum’s own unique nod to the dizzying and euphoric powers of love.
