Musical Film Festival with NWA Equality
In partnership with NWA Equality, this special Pride Month event shines a spotlight on the powerful connection between musicals and queer culture. From bold expressions of identity to themes of love, liberation, and chosen family, musicals have long resonated with the LGBTQ+ community.
Though not every featured work is explicitly queer, each has been embraced for its flamboyance, emotional depth, and subversive storytelling—qualities that uplift and reflect queer experiences. This celebration honors the community’s lasting influence on the musical genre and its impact on art, media, and pop culture. Join us in RØDE House for an unforgettable day of music, pride, and celebration!
Free, no tickets required.
