A Pink Triangle

Jun20

Don't miss the world premiere of A Pink Triangle, an original, LGBTQIA+/historical fictional play.

The show shines a light on an often overlooked victim-survivor group of the Holocaust, homosexual men.

Set in a concentration camp, in what could be their last hour together, an intolerant father and his gay son attempt to find common ground, hope, and forgiveness.

Theatre Elision presents: Penelope

Jun20

Many of us are familiar with The Odyssey, the epic poem composed around the 8th century BC and telling the story of Odysseus as he works his way home to Ithaca after fighting in the Trojan War. His journey takes ten years — the same amount of time the war lasted. This means that Penelope, Odysseus’ wife, has waited twenty years for his return. This untold story is brought to life in Penelope, with Christine Wade as one woman behind a piano, as we are given a snapshot into her final days of waiting for her husband. It is a musical love letter to all those who wait: For someone they love. For something they believe in. And hope that the wait will end well.

Artemas The Americas Tour

Jun20

At 24-years-old, UK-based singer, songwriter, and producer Artemas believes rules are made to be broken. Inspired by the likes of Kurt Cobain and Anthony Kiedis, the self-taught multi-instrumentalist released his first music in late 2020, learning how to hone much of his craft in the confines of his bedroom. By late 2023, his eerie dark r&b sound fully connected, drawing comparisons to The Weeknd, as his single “if you think i’m pretty” amassed over 600M streams leading into the release of his pretty mixtape. The project captured global attention, landing the rising star on “Artist to Watch” lists by the likes of Hypebeast and Ones to Watch, and debuting on Zane Lowe’s “24 for ‘24” roster. Continuing the momentum, he released “i like the way you kiss me,” which zoomed up the charts globally reaching #1 on the Billboard Global 200, #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #3 on the UK Official Singles Chart, while selling out two debut headline tours. Now, Artemas proves he’s here to stay with the arrival of his yustyna mixtape.
