The Out Down South podcast is coming soon to speakers near you, and to kick things off, we’re hosting a showcase of Atlanta’s best queer talent! Join us at Out Front Theatre Company on Friday, June 24th at 8pm for the queerest of evenings, starring an all-LGBTQ+ roster of storytellers, comedians, drag performers, and musicians.
Your ticket purchase will help us create and sustain the Out Down South podcast, which features interviews with the legendary local LGBTQ+ activists, artists, and leaders who put Atlanta on the queer cultural map and created the thriving communities we love today. The Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project has been creating oral histories with a diverse array of honored queer Atlantans, and we’re thrilled to bring these amazing stories to you through the Out Down South Podcast. With your support, we can gather the South’s rich queer history, to share with today’s audiences, and preserve for generations to come.
We hope you’ll join us on Friday, June 24th for the Out Down South Showcase, featuring some of your favorite Atlanta artists. Purchase your tickets here. We’re so excited to see you and celebrate Atlanta’s queer history together!
