30th Anniversary!!
JULY 28 – AUGUST 14, 2021
|
|
HOT! began at Dixon Place in 1992 as the first inclusive all-embracing month-long LGBTQ+ festival of theater, dance, music, literature, performance art, and homoeroticism for the whole family. It remains the longest running festival of its kind in the world!
This year’s fest deviates from our usual fare: a mini-festival featuring mostly music & comedy, perhaps it’s more appropriately called SPARKS! We kick off with a DP commissioned production by Maggie Moore & Elizabeth Ziff (of BETTY fame) and continue thru mid-August with the hottest queer comedy & music in NYC, fused with sparks of venturous theater & dance!
DP safely welcomes in-person audiences… Join us for our 30th celebration of queer culture!
