Opening Night - Sordid Lives & Austin Rainbow Theatre Ribbon Cutting

Description

Help us celebrate the opening night of Sordid Lives on Oct. 6th! Austin Rainbow Theater is a new member of the Austin LGBT Chamber and we are so excited to have their ribbon cutting on Opening Night before the show. The pre-show mixer and Ribbon Cutting will begin at 7PM with a champagne toast for those with tickets. 

There will also be an after-show mixer with complimentary sips from Deep Eddy Vodka.

Austin Rainbow Theatre presents their inaugural production of Del Shores’ raucous Texas comedy Sordid Lives at Ground Floor Theatre October 6-14th. This production stars nationally-acclaimed drag entertainer and local celebrity Nadine Hughes as Brother Boy, a role previously made famous by the late Leslie Jordan. Written by trailblazing playwright & “master of Texas Comedy”, Del Shores, this hilarious romp is filled with southern charm and underscores what it means to be queer in Texas. Get tickets to the show.

Tickets are available for purchase at $20 through ART’s website at www.austinrainbowtheare.org/shows. All performances will be held at Ground Floor Theatre. Our Saturday 2 PM matinee performances will feature ASL interpreters for the hearing impaired community.
