Inspired by and featuring marriage activist Edie Windsor. Also starring Broadway actors Jillian Louis and Nicole Van Giesen.  A memory piece inspired by Thea Spyer’s proposal to Edie in the 1960’s (when Edie worked at IBM and it still wasn’t safe to come out of the closet).  Celebrating the enduring power of love.

Happy Pride Month!
