Our friends at Dixon Place are kicking off their 20th Annual HOT! Festival this Friday with an opening night party hosted by Anti-Diva, also known as Liz Liguori and Jessie Mann. The festival, declared “New York’s Best Gay Theater Fest” by The Village Voice, is also known as “a pioneering festival of queer performance and culture – and the oldest, continually running festival of its kind in the world.”
You can catch an extravaganza of LBGTQ performance, dance, and literature from June 24 – August 6th. 20 HOT! Artists will preview selections from their newest work this Friday at the opening night party. Admission is FREE // 6pm // 161A Chrystie Street.
The Lo-Down is the Local Media Sponsor of the 20th Annual HOT! Festival so we’ll be covering some of the highlights from the shows and keeping you updated on the events throughout the run.
