Laugh, cry, and dance your way through stories of LGBT heroes, outcasts, monsters and more! With a style the Boston Globe calls “preciously talented,” “rudely funny,” but with “raw anguish at its heart,” and musical influences from Bowie to Ben Folds to Sondheim– Sam Salmond and friends promise a night of pop/rock theater, joy, and catharsis that you’ll never forget!
