THE GAY HERITAGE PROJECT
Three of our country 's most gifted creato r/per formers set ou answer one questio t to n: is there such a th ing as gay heritage? In th search, they uncove eir r a rich history not often shared, shine on contemporar y ga ne w light y culture, and fantas ize about the prospe legacy. The result is ct of a hilarious and movin g homage to the pe who came before us op le and the events that continue to shape our lives.
