Hello community! On April 5th our dear friend and brilliant clown Ell had the majority of their props stolen and damaged from the back of their Uhaul. These props are essential to their amazing show “The Life and Times of a Gay Bug” and will cost a lot to replace. This is a huge unexpected loss and burden on Ell, whose show brings to light important messages on gender identity.

While unrelated, a show surrounding Trans and Queer life in modern times, being vandalized like this is just heartbreaking.

Aside from valuable and costly props like tattoo guns, stage lights, and remote controls; Hand-made masks and a custom made tear way costume were stolen. Weeks of hand crafting, painting, and putting love into these items, gone. Months and months of work recklessly and cruelly stolen.

As such, the community has started this fundraiser to help replace those props and get this wonderful show back up on its feet! Thank you so much for time, care, and love. And please know, Ell is so beyond grateful and loves you all immensely.
