Thank you to everyone that joined us for Beyond The Story at the Rosendale Theatre on Saturday, March 22nd!

The event will featured a screening of One Story at a Time: Celeste Lecesne, a short film produced by TMI Project about Celeste Lecesne, co-founder of The Trevor Project and The Future Perfect Project, and was followed by a post screening chat with director Eva Tenuto.

Following the Q&A about the film we hosted a panel discussion focused on how we can all get involved with politics, business, and other organizations to create meaningful change right here at home.

Thank you to all our speakers and panelists who participated in this evening’s event.

Get ready to GASP in delight as the funniest LGBTQ

Get ready to GASP in delight as the funniest LGBTQ comics take the stage in Kingston, NY for a night of side-splitting laughs at Gay Gasp on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at 8pm.

Our second annual Queer Comedy Showcase proudly features the wits of Jake Cornell, Sydnee Washington and Esther Fallick.

This ain’t your average comedy show, darling—it’s a full-throttle, glitter-packed comedy extravaganza with a cast that’s bold, brash, and unapologetically queer.

It’s time to leave your cares at the door and come ready for a night filled with snark, sass, and just the right amount of shade, so grab your friends (and your sequins) and remember that laughter is the best accessory—because honey, nothing is more glamorous than joy.

——————

Doors open at 7pm for libations with our community thanks to our friends at Kingston’s newest venue – Assembly! The show starts at 8pm.

The show will contain adult themes and is appropriate for audiences 18+
