We’re doing a live show! Join us March 17 for That’s a Thing?! Live: The Internet is My GSA at SkirtsAfire, a festival featuring women in theatre and multidisciplinary arts. We’ll start with a discussion of the internet as a place for LGTBQ+ youth to find themselves and each other, and then we’ll have a panel discussion with Sara Vickruck and Anais West of Poly Queer Love Ballad, Harley Morison of Cardiac Theatre, and the festival’s 2019 Honorary Skirt, Marni Panas.
