Whoever you ship Bo with, we can all agree that Doccubus' journey is one for the ages. They may have had their ups and downs throughout the series, but they make a promise to eachother in the end to try. In this panel, we talk to Anna Silk and Zoie Palmer about their characters' journey of loving and learning and what they think Lauren and Bo are up to now.

In this modified version of the popular game Four Truths and a Lie, three of our guests will recount an event from their lives while the fifth will tell a good old fashioned fib, all based on an assigned theme. The audience (you) will vote on which story they believe is a lie via the classic applause-o-meter. Loads of fun to be had! 

Being open about who you are is always a personal choice that comes with concerns, fears and different realities. Come join the panel or actors who are out, proudly living their truths as they discuss their careers and the difficulties of doing so in the public eye. Hear about their coming out and how it might have affected their careers, changed the roles open to them and how they feel about the support in our community. Make sure to sit in on these two very important panels filled with performers who continue to be at the forefront of representation in media. 

Guests: Arryn Zech, Erica Lutrell, and Sterling Victorian
