You will experience an original LGBTQ+ community movement piece exploring themes from New Adventures’ current touring show of Swan Lake. The performance will be followed by an author talk with William Hussey, author of over a dozen novels, from thrillers for Young Adults to gripping whodunnits for grown-ups, across almost every genre of fiction.
