ABOUT THE SHOW

Five coming out stories may be a few too many for some but not this show. This show combines storytelling, Irish music, and history. Plus everyone's favorite: hand puppets! Here we ask the important questions. What is unconditional love? How do we respond to injustice? And can Spiderman come to the tea party?

Trigger warnings: Suicide, Sexual assault
