Be sure to also check out our silent art auction featuring amazing art, crafts, and art-related gift packages donated by LGBT artists and organizations.

At 7pm, step into the theater to take in a series of short performances by a diverse array of LGBT performers including Gadfly Theatre, Adam Dykes, Sarah McPeck, Jacksee, and more to be announced. The performance series will be emceed by renowned burlesque star Sweet Pea. At 9:30pm, stay for music, drinks, and socializing.
