A day that taught friends and enemies to embrace their differences. The day that Beyoncé commenced her Cowboy Carter Tour. Swallowing Beyoncé is a dark comedy about a Black\, queer (and toxic) friend group desperately trying – last minute – to buy pit tickets to Beyoncé’s Fourth of July show. This should be easy\, yet when jealousy flares\, this simple mission becomes a Sisyphean task. Relationships fragment\, and\, mysteriously\, are forgotten; but don’t worry\, this story has a happy ending 🙂 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAdmission to the Momentum Festival is free\, but reservations are required.Tickets can be reserved beginning on November 30\, 2026\, through City Theatre’s website.
