Who We Are
Spectrum is a vibrant queer variety show born out of the need for community and expression in challenging times. Founded in the wake of the 2016 election, we provide a platform for artists to come together, celebrate their identities, and support one another. Our shows are a testament to the resilience and creativity of the LGBTQ+ community, especially focusing on the trans and non-binary experience.
What We Do
We produce annual variety shows featuring a diverse array of performances—from aerialists and drag acts to comedians and dancers—all dedicated to raising funds for organizations that support trans and gender nonconforming individuals. Spectrum is a space where joy, safety, and love flourish, offering both performers and attendees a chance to connect and find hope in our shared struggles.
Mission

Our mission is to create a vibrant platform for performance while supporting non-profit organizations that advocate for trans and gender nonconforming individuals, emphasizing the importance of solidarity during critical times.
