Rename the Festival
After 22 years, it’s time for us to come out and admit who we really are. We’re not just a “gay” festival. We’re also lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, trans, non-binary, intersex, asexual, and more. Send us your idea for a new name for the Festival at info@gaytheatre.ie.
Volunteers Needed
Whether we see you as a volunteer or audience member, we can’t wait to see you soon!
