This Coming Friday
The DSA is excited to present our member Jerome Stueart's pop-up show, The Further (Queer) Adventures of Yukon Cornelius. Jerome has reimagined the boisterous, red-bearded prospector from the 1964 Christmas special, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” as a gay man whose whole life is helping monsters adapt to the world of people around them.
