Presented by the Philadelphia Gay Lesbian Theatre Festival, the one-night-only event will feature the talents of Rachel Coloff, Alicia Irving, Jillian Louis, Austin Murphy, Randy Redd, Jana Robbins and Cole Burden. Michael Bush will direct the 8 PM performance with musical direction by Mark Janas. Gay Grimms was penned by Ted Sod (libretto), Dan Martin (music) and Michael Biello (lyrics). The musical, according to press notes, concerns "Leon and Jackie, the Cousins Grimm, adapting their ancestors' beloved stories and adding a queer sensibility to them. Jackie is a celebrated lesbian composer/solo artist. Leon asks her to work with him and she impulsively agrees. Strange and magical things begin to happen as their versions of the tales come to life; including a mysterious and surprising twist to their creative collaboration."

The Arden Theatre is located at 40 N. 2nd Street in Philadelphia, PA. Call (215) 922-1122 for reservations.
