Join Del Shores, creator of Sordid Lives and one of America’s most celebrated Southern storytellers, along with actor and producer Emerson Collins, for an intimate Southern-inspired brunch benefiting Austin Rainbow Theatre and our mission to Amplify Queer Voices.

In place of our first Sunday matinee performance of The Recipe Box, our Glitter & Gossip Social invites you onto the show’s charming front porch set for an unforgettable afternoon of Southern hospitality, delicious brunch fare, signature cocktails and mocktails, live entertainment from Austin Rainbow Theatre artists, and inside gossip.

Hosted by Del Shores and Emerson Collins, this exclusive front porch kiki is your chance to hear the stories you won’t hear anywhere else. Del will spill the tea with behind-the-scenes tales from Sordid Lives, unforgettable moments from his decades in theatre, television, and film, and the inspiration behind his work, while Emerson keeps the conversation lively with humor, stories, and a few surprises of his own.

Throughout the afternoon, you’ll also have the opportunity to bid on exclusive auction items and participate in other fundraising activities that support Austin Rainbow Theatre’s mission to amplify queer voices through bold, inclusive storytelling.

Whether you’re a longtime Del Shores fan, a lover of Southern comedy, or simply looking for an unforgettable brunch with incredible entertainment and even better company, Glitter & Gossip Social is your invitation to pull up a chair, sip something sweet, and join the conversation.
