🌈 Why Your Support Matters

Austin Rainbow Theatre exists to amplify queer voices — boldly, unapologetically, and beautifully. We are Austin’s only dedicated LGBTQIA+ theatre company, creating space for queer stories to be told, heard, and celebrated on stage.

But across the country, arts funding is shrinking. Grants that once helped sustain grassroots, inclusive organizations like ours are being slashed or eliminated altogether. And for queer-focused arts groups, the impact is even deeper — we’re often the first to face cuts and the last to be funded.

That’s why we’re turning to the community we serve. Your presence at the Glitter Gala helps us produce new works, pay queer artists, rent performance space, and keep the spotlight shining on the stories that matter.

In a time when LGBTQIA+ voices are being challenged and censored, supporting queer theatre isn’t just generous — it’s necessary. Because theatre has always been a place for truth, resistance, and joy. And with your help, it will continue to be.

Thank you for standing with us, celebrating with us, and making queer art possible.

About Your Host

Ritzy Bitz

Ritzy Bitz, the Once in a Lifetime Drag Sensation. Hailing from NYC this pint sized powerhouse delivers high-energy performances, razor-sharp wit, and just the right amount of chaos. Now a prominent Austin Staple, Ritzy brings the glitz, the glam and giggles everywhere she goes. A Pop Diva in training, Model, Actress, Dancer, Gymnast, Entrepreneuress & Dream Girl. Ritzy would like to thank her lack of friends in childhood for helping her develop such a strong love for theatre and hopes you'll donate to help make theatrical dreams come true for other Queer Texans on and off stage.

About the Venue

Parker Jazz Club

Nestled in the heart of Austin’s LGBTQIA+ district, Parker Jazz Club is a hidden gem where the city’s soul comes alive through sound and style. It's candlelit tables, velvet curtains, and the soft glow of stage lights create a mood that’s both intimate and electric. Perfect for an evening of cabaret, it invites connection, expression, and a night that lingers long after the last note fades.
