SUMMARY:KWLT Presents RENT
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 30th anniversary year\, the musical phenomenon RENT is still celebrated globally for its resonating storyline and iconic songs like “Seasons of Love”.

Its iconic songs and diverse characters helped redefine modern musical theatre\, making the show a cultural phenomenon that continues to resonate with audiences decades after its Broadway debut. Book\, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson  Musical Arrangements by Steve Skinner  Original Concept/Additional Lyrics by Billy Aronson  Music Supervision and Additional Arrangements by Tim Weil  Dramaturg Lynn Thomson  RENT was originally produced in New York by New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway by Jeffrey Seller\, Kevin McCollum\, Allan S.

Holiday portraits for people who don’t want the same soft-focus fireplace photo as everyone else. Families\, couples\, solo glamour\, pets\, cursed novelty items you insist on holding — all welcome. No theme too weird\, no judgment on record. Drop-in sessions\, no appointment. Just show up. Have questions?

Okay so what do those words mean? Queer: Well\, if you’re any wavelength of member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum\, you’re welcome to mix with us\, you belong here. Professional: We take the original meaning of the word “profession\,” as in\, “having something to profess\,” as in\, “having something to speak passionately about\,” to inform who’s professional\, so whether you’re working as a small cog in a big business\, or you’re an entrepreneur\, or you’re an artisan\, or you’re looking for work but LOVE to talk about bugs\, you belong here!Social: We use a neurodivergent-friendly sticker system and name tags to help folks indicate how they like to socialize – for some\, they want to do the approaching\, for others they’re happy to be interrupted. We also have lanyards for folks to indicate if they don’t want to be in any photos. TWB has incredible brews and also a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks\, so if you want to focus on the low stakes easy conversational games we have planned to get people talking together\, you belong here!Mixer: We’ll have time before and after the event for folks to mill about\, come back to people they didn’t finish getting to talk to\, exchange contact info\, etc. People have found contractors for home improvement projects\, sponsors for events\, and plenty of new friends at these things! If you want to mix things up and add other cool queer people to your life\, you belong here.

SUMMARY:M4LL PH0T0 POP-UP (Holiday Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Remember the mall portrait studio? Fake bookshelf backdrop\, a fern\, a stranger counting down from three while your mom fixed your collar. It’s back\, and it’s parked at Square Peg for the Christkindl Market. We do floating-head portraits — the ’80s/’90s department-store composite\, done properly. Three backdrops per session (laser\, muslin\, whatever we’ve dragged out for the occasion)\, you sit for us\, and you leave with the kind of portrait that’s been hanging over your grandma’s fireplace since 1987. Want the little inset in the corner? Fill it with whatever you want. We won’t ask. The family Christmas card\, done properly — which is to say\, badly. Holiday portraits for people who don’t want the same soft-focus fireplace photo as everyone else. Families\, couples\, solo glamour\, pets\, cursed novelty items you insist on holding — all welcome. No theme too weird\, no judgment on record. Drop-in sessions\, no appointment. Just show up. Have questions?
