AUSTIN RAINBOW THEATRE PRESENTS

GLITTER GALA

A SPARKLING CABARET WITH PRIDE

AUGUST 3RD | 6:00 P.M. | PARKER JAZZ CLUB

Get ready to sparkle for a cause — a dazzling evening of sequins, sass, and show-stopping talent, all in support of Austin Rainbow Theatre, Austin’s LGBTQIA+ theatre amplifying queer voices and stories that deserve the spotlight. This year, as funding for LGBTQIA+ organizations tightens, we’re rising to meet new challenges.

We’re throwing our first-ever Glitter Gala on Sunday, August 3rd at Parker Jazz Club, hosted by the glitter queen herself, Ritzy Bitz! The evening features performances by acclaimed opera talents Claudia Chapa (mezzo-soprano) and Austin Siebert (bass-baritone), both recently seen on the Austin Opera stage. It will be a night to celebrate the power and beauty of queer expression.

The evening features:

 Dazzling cabaret and drag performances

 Gender-reversal Showtunes — with interpretations that bring fresh, bold context to songs originally written for the opposite gender

 Glittering cocktails and bites from our sponsor Flavor & Co.

 A silent auction sparkling with high-end treasures

It’s part Broadway, part speakeasy, and 100% unforgettable. Come for the vibes, stay for the vocals — and leave knowing you helped keep queer art loud, proud, and center stage.

 Attire: Glitz & Glam
Sparkle is not just encouraged — it’s the dress code.
Think glitter, sequins, rhinestones, metallics, and bold, expressive fashion. Whether you're rocking a velvet tux, a shimmering gown, or a rhinestone-studded jumpsuit — this is your night to glow.

ART began its mission in 2021 with an exploratory production of The Laramie Project by Moises Kaufman and the Tectonic Theatre Project. This production was meant to gauge the necessity of an LGBTQIA+ theatre company and the response from the Central Texas community. After the outpouring of support from patrons, as well as the gratitude from members of the queer community, we knew ART would be around for a long time!
