🧢 🎀 Oh my god! I’m a homosexual! And you all love it! So much that we’ve added a 2nd performance of But I’m A Cheerleader - A Live Reading on June 22 at !

So don’t miss out as we all learn the “glories” of becoming “straight” and rock our super hetero pleather outfits.

✨ WOW ✨ Did you see we were awarded bronze in the Philadelphia Inquirers Philly Favorites?! Thank you to everyone who voted for us and to those who didn’t…we’ll meet you outside at 7:23pm…to kindly ask you to give us a chance next year 😤

It was $2k to use the official logo, so we made our own. We think it’s cuter, what do you think?!

In all seriousness, we do this for all of you! Our only goal is to bring joy and fun back to theatre and to create a space where we can briefly let go of the outside world, so thank you for your support over the last 8 years!
