Description:

This variety show celebrates and amplifies diverse voices and experiences within the LGBTQIA+ community- whether grounded in this identity or exploring who they are. Through poetry, dance, song, or theatrical scenes, performers will share stories that reflect pride, resilience, and authenticity. 

Participants may perform pieces that connect to their own lived experiences or honor and represent the stories of others within the queer community.
