Visit with LGBTQ+ groups, and receive a free vinyl sticker with ticket purchase. $1 from each ticket goes to a local LGBTQ+ org.

A Case of the Existence of God (play, community event)
Third Rail Repertory Theatre
Keith and Ryan, two working dads who seemingly have little in common, meet in Keith’s cubicle to discuss business. Despite different upbringings, identities, and lifestyles — and the primarily transactional nature of their relationship — the men connect over their experiences of fatherhood; growing up in a small, rural town; and the loneliness of lost opportunities and fragile circumstances. Tender and surprising, Samuel D. Hunter’s A Case for the Existence of God shines a light on the ways in which disparate lives can commingle and create a deep and indelible imprint of empathy and connection.
Feb. 28th-Mar. 16th, LGBTQIA2S+ Affinity Night: Mar. 8th
