The fourth annual GayFest!, a festival of LGBT theater, lights up Philadelphia, August
Spanning three weeks, three theaters, and with three special events, four mainstage plays, and five “one-night stand” variety performances, GayFest! is fix to be the point out of the summer season in Philadelphia, and the city’s only LGBT theater festival. The lesbian peak of the mainstage is sure to be the Philadelphia premiere of Some Are People by queer woman playwright and author Kathleen Warnock.

In Vermont he was looking "to make contact with actual people instead of app people," he said. That’s how he ended up playing UNO and listening to Radiohead on a Friday night at Vittles House of Brews this winter. Nikki Stevens, Bradford The room was occupied of people.
