Now that we've recovered from our holiday hangover, we wanted to look back at the spectacular fun we had at our 2025 holiday cabaret!

Merry Queerness (A Wildly Inappropriate Holiday Show) was a huge success! We know WE had a wet and wild time... If you were there for the naughtiness, tell us your favorite moment of the show so we can all bask in the glory(hole) of our collective jolly gay expression together!

We'll go first: singing the 12 days of Queermas together. You, our audience, warmed our little rainbow hearts to no end.

Thanks to our phenomenal performers, crew, and creatives who made the magic happen!

Getting a new musical in front of an audience for the first time is one of the most exciting parts of creating new work, and we couldn't be more excited and proud of this incredible concert reading we did in Atlanta. Thanks to our stellar cast, crew, and creative team, The Flirt Bar Concert Reading last month was a beautiful success! Thanks to all who came out to see it and to those supported the show from afar. Stay tuned for more Flirt Bar news!

Hey Arts Community! 2025 was our biggest year yet and we want to celebrate! Back in May, we put on a reading of a new musical, The Ride, at the Los Angeles LGBT Center.

The Ride is a brand new musical that follows a group of riders on the AIDS/LifeCycle Ride that's traveled from San Francisco to Los Angeles every single year since 1994. This year, with the tradition shifting from one big ride to smaller groups and shorter routes, the musical is capturing the history and spirit of The Ride at a time and place vital to the history of LGBTQ rights and AID activism.

The power and joy of the AIDS/LifeCycle ride lives on in showtunes, laughter, and, someday, some fantastic choreography! With songs like The Luxury of Denial, Red Dress Day, and Love Comes in All Kinds, The Ride Musical captured the feeling that many riders called - the love bubble.

We can't wait to bring the love bubble back to audiences in the coming years for the next round of workshops and shows.
