Thanks for Tenderfest!
Warm squishy hugs! Our first Tenderfest: A Queer People of Color Community Love Extravaganza was another packed house, standing-room-only, all-the-feelings practice space for community care. Thanks to all the artists, volunteers, audience members, sponsors and donors for making it happen. You're the best.
