Out Down South Showcase
Friday, June 24th @ 8 PM EST
Out Front Theatre Company
The Out Down South podcast is coming soon to speakers near you, and to kick things off, we’re hosting a showcase of Atlanta’s best queer talent! Join us at Out Front Theatre Company on Friday, June 24th at 8 pm for the queerest of evenings, starring an all-LGBTQ+ roster of storytellers, comedians, drag performers, and musicians.
Your ticket purchase will help us create and sustain the Out Down South podcast, which features interviews with the legendary local LGBTQ+ activists, artists, and leaders who put Atlanta on the queer cultural map and created the thriving communities we love today. The Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project has been creating oral histories with a diverse array of honored queer Atlantans, and we’re thrilled to bring these amazing stories to you through the Out Down South Podcast. With your support, we can gather the South’s rich queer history, to share with today’s audiences, and preserve for generations to come.
We hope you’ll join us on Friday, June 24th for the Out Down South Showcase, featuring some of your favorite Atlanta artists. Purchase your tickets here. We’re so excited to see you and celebrate Atlanta’s queer history together!

About the Project
The Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project is a collaborative, multimedia exhibit and archival collection, celebrating and preserving the stories of courageous LGBTQ+ Atlantans who changed the landscape of this city’s life and culture. Religious leaders, politicians, activists, artists, and business owners share stories in their own voices, reflecting on their lives, legacies, and the city they helped create.
A collaboration between Wussy Mag and the LGBTQ+ Center at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, the Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project includes oral history, photography, and other archival material, shared with the community via digital and live exhibits, the Out Down South podcast, and a panel series on the preservation of LGBTQ+ history throughout the Southeast, featuring local scholars, activists, and artists.
