DSH NYC's 2023
Virtual Benefit

Drag Story Hour NYC's 2023 Benefit
VIRTUAL

Drag Story Hour NYC celebrated an incredible year of programming, successes, glitter, and growth at our first annual benefit ONLINE on Friday, November 17th, 2023 along with our storytellers, board members, and supporters in a celebration of gender diversity, drag equity, and forward momentum, emceed by our very own Harmonica Sunbeam

2023 was a challenging year for drag artists and the greater LGBTQ+ community. Yet, against all odds, our programming is stronger than ever, our directive and approach is unflappable, and our community reach extends even further. Drag Story Hour NYC’s Benefit was a fun and fabulous night where we celebrated all we’ve accomplished together, with speakers, performances, raffles, games, and award honorees!
