Join us at The Hope Theatre for a transformative series of workshops and talks designed to unite and uplift working-class and queer individuals. This inclusive event aims to create a space where artists at all stages in their career from these vibrant communities can gather, fostering a platform for sharing experiences, fostering connections, and discovering new opportunities. No matter your level of expertise, these workshops offer a unique chance for individuals to come together, celebrate diversity, and empower each other through the joy of creative expression.
