ABOUT

Everything changes on Randall’s 30th birthday.

Surrounded by the people he loves and the impending marriage equality vote in New York, Randall is forced to choose between desire and commitment.

Let this immersive experience send you on a fantastical journey of queer love, chosen family, and self acceptance led by a wayward drag queen and her unusual greek chorus.

It’s going to be a wild weekend of passion, politics, and Planter’s Punch.

All aboard for Little House On The Ferry!
