“Working with Michael on bringing Greetings, from Queer Mountain to New York has been an absolute dream. He makes everything so easy for me and my team and consistently showcases an incredibly wide range of voices, experiences, and opinions. We have laughed and cried within one ninety minute set. I am thrilled Michael chose Housing Works as the venue for the New York branch of GFQM, as it brings so much life and love to our space every month.”
