Brick & Lavender Productions (formerly For The Love Of Drag) was started in 2019 when its beloved all ages drag show, Sashay Café, was launched. Since then, we've broken ground by producing queer performance shows in spaces that haven't hosted them before and bringing fat celebration to the front with THICK. We focus on creating inclusive, intersectional and diverse shows, giving every body the opportunity to take the stage. **Brick & Lavender is committed to values of mutual respect and subscribes to a zero-tolerance policy of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia or ableism at their shows. If you see opportunities to better uphold these values, please do not hesitate to let us know.
