We are proud to announce our Spring Fundraiser- 

the production of "Standing on Ceremony- the Gay Marriage Plays"  Click on the poster for tickets. 

Note from the Director:  Producing Standing on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays now is especially meaningful as LGBTQ+ rights continue to be challenged, and visibility remains a powerful tool for advocacy and empathy. This play, with its mix of humor, poignancy, and real-world relevance, engages audiences with the human stories behind marriage equality, which go beyond political headlines and focus on love, commitment, and community. 

With rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation and ongoing debates about rights and protections, this production could foster vital dialogue and raise awareness in a personal, relatable way. Theater, in this case, becomes a form of activism, where stories can shift perceptions and inspire solidarity. This play also celebrates the resilience of LGBTQ+ individuals, acknowledging both the strides made and the challenges that persist, making it a timely choice for anyone seeking to engage deeply with issues of equality and love.
