🌈 Happy Pride, Buffalo! 🌈
The theater is a place where people get to be fully themselves, on the stage, off it, AND in the seats. It's where self-discovery meets empathy, on an endless quest for human connection and understanding. The Kav is proud to be one of those places and to march with the Theatre Alliance of Buffalo in tomorrow's parade! We can't wait to see you all out there! 🏳️‍🌈💖🎭
