, will be raising money to benefit LGBTQ advocacy in Uganda through the Fund for Global Human Rights, in an effort to combat proposed legislation that could make it a criminal offense to be gay, with punishment by imprisonment and even execution. The New York Neo-Futurists call our audiences to action in support of this important cause.

A blend of the comedic, tragic, political and always personal, the New York Neo-Futurists explore the journey from out to proud in 30 short plays over the course of one hour.
