We are heartbroken by the tragedy that occurred on Sunday, at what should have been a joyful celebration of our connection to each other through food. Our hearts are with the victims and their loved ones, and all those affected by this senseless act of violence.

We had a blast celebrating Pride and walking the parade with our fellow arts organizations. Every day we’re proud to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ artists, colleagues, patrons, and friends, but celebrating at Pride makes it especially fun! We hope everyone had a safe and joyful time at the parade 🌈🏳️‍🌈

If this show is ever in your town PLEASE go see it. The performance was so deeply heartfelt and meaningful. They now have a wall behind the performance. it shows up at the end and has pictures of everyone who was discharged from the Army for being queer. As a queer veteran, this shit broke me.

Thomas Mallon's novel about two men who fall in love during the Lavender Scare is both a history lesson and a painfully beautiful tragedy. I got to interview Tom at @townhallseattle.bsky.social ahead of @seattleopera.bsky.social's run of the stage adaptation, which you can (should) see this week.

Thomas Mallon's 'Fellow Travelers' is a must for readers and Seattle Opera fans alike

Reading Thomas Mallon's 2007 novel, "Fellow Travelers," I couldn't help but think it was always destined to become an opera.
