“Gospel Is a Drag” discussion

with Jerry Rapp

May 23, 2026 10:30 CT

“Gospel Is A Drag,” an original musical written by Jerry Rapp, is set in the fictional town of Squibbtown, Missouri, where a stuffy town hall meeting is suddenly crashed by the fabulous Gloria, backed by her stellar choir, ready to sing and speak her truth. Rapp, an award-winning producer and writer, will make his Arts Asylum debut with the play.

Come to learn about Rapp’s creative journey, why he feels like “Gospel is a Drag” is “one of the most important personal works” he’s done in his career, and more!

ASL interpretation is not currently guaranteed for all events. We are actively seeking interpreters and encourage participants with accessibility needs to contact us in advance.

What are the benefits of joining online LGBTQ+ events?

Safe Space. The single most important benefit of joining online LGBTQ events is the contained, safe space for LGBTQ people to connect with each other. Many LGBTQ people feel isolated and alone, especially if they live in a community that is not accepting of LGBTQ people.
Diversity & Reach. Online events may attract a more diverse audience than in-person events: people from all over the world can attend. This supports folx who live in areas not served by large queer communities, and also serves those who may find live events cost prohibitive.
Sharing Stories. Virtual events give LGBTQ+ people a platform to share their experiences. When we share our stories, it reduces feelings of isolation and shame, and increases understanding.
Expanded Understanding & Awareness. Online LGBTQ events can also be a great way to learn about LGBTQ issues — even within our community! And the more LGBTQ people come together to celebrate their community, the more we can support breaking down stereotypes and prejudice.

In Person Meetings
