First Impressions, Lasting Connections: Date Night Shorts

Finding true love is hard but falling in love with these shorts is easy. This program brings the romance with stories of queer angels coaxing together the perfect match and awkward first dates that bloom into relationships.

Come by yourself, with a partner(s), or your friends and leave with at least 2 new friends (maybe lovers?!). This shorts program comes with an optional speed friending event, don’t worry we won’t take you away from your original group for too long. We have a lovely drag queen hosting and facilitating, Ms. Sweet Nothing, so you’ll be in good hands!

Speed friending will be guided in between some of the short films, and we’ll provide a few questions as a nice comfortable security blanket - just in case. For the last film and Q&A you'll be back in your original seats!
