This Saturday 22 June is Edinburgh Pride. We'd like to invite all of our friends, collaborators, past audience members and allies to come stand tall and march with us as we draw attention to the fact that hate crimes against the LGBT community in Scotland is at its highest level since records began 10 years ago.
If you're struggling to find your sparkle, connect with your tribe, or stay passionate about equality and art, try slaying with Jock Tamson's Bairns.
We're DELIGHTED and very excited to have been named a FINALIST in the the Arts and Media category of the Proud Scotland Awards 2019 "for demonstrating originality, creativity and community engagement" with Jock Tamson's Bairns and last year's public debate series!
Faggot, Fruit, Nancy, Pansy, Mary, Fairy, Flamer and Butt Pirate. An obvious target — camp, girly, never quite on point — the taunting started early; well before I was old enough to have had my first inexplicably thrilling yet profoundly confusing day dream about Magnum P.I. and his hairy chest.
We're beyond excited as our first ever Edinburgh Fringe programme just arrived from the printers! Starring Courtney Act: The Girl from Oz; Roddy Bottum's Sasquatch; Joe's NYC Bar; Hans: Mein Camp; Michael Griffiths' Sweet Dreams; Carla Lippis: Cast A Dark Shadow; Danny Condon's Songs from the Black Sheep; Peter Michael Marino's Show Up; Mindy Raf: Keeping My Kidneys; Romy Nordlinger's Places; Tomas Ford: Crap Music Rave Party/Craptacular; Modern Robot's Alive: Music for Night of the Living Dead; and Michelle Shocked: Truth vs Reality.
