Moonshot: book by Marc Erdahi & Tyler Oberle, music & lyrics by Corey Everly (Lavender Fest 2024)

“Queer theatre is here to stay, and Lavender Fest will provide one of the few spaces in America for new, bold work to be featured. We aim to ignite multiple generations of storytellers, creators, and artists to experiment with LGBTQIA+ theatre. We get to be the authors of our own history.”

- Ty Autry, Festival Director

“If you're looking for something gay to do this Pride Month, look no further than Lavender Fest. Electrifying nights jam-packed with queer theatre and garnished by signature drinks await you on these bright and colorful stages. Ignite your inner fire with a bit of lavender.”
