*BOB* also directed “AMAGING! ~ age is more than just a number, it’s a story” at The Vortex theater in Feb. of 2024 with a cast of five elders ages 64-90 sharing stories from their lives. The 90 seat theater sold out on Super Bowl Sunday! In the past year RCATX has provided and participated in over 140 events.
*BOB* shares that, “Hanging out with older people is like getting a postcard from your future and who doesn’t want to read that ”? In the Queer community these postcards can save lives. Not only is it imperative that elders in the LGBTQIA2S+ community be acknowledged as the building blocks of current and future Queer liberation but also as whole people who beyond being a resource desire connection into the world they helped shape.
