STARS IN THE HOUSE Announces QUEER AS FOLK Reunion and 'Broadway For Orlando' Anniversary Fundraiser

Hosts Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley announced today two very special episodes of "Stars In The House" that will celebrate and honor Pride Month and the LGBTQ community. Tonight, the cast of the groundbreaking series "Queer As Folk" will reunite to talk about the iconic show and what it meant to be a part of the first American drama series with gay characters as leads. Seth and James will be joined by Michelle Clunie, Robert Gant, Sharon Gless, Randy Harrison, Scott Lowell, Peter Paige, and Hal Sparks at 8pm ET, to reminisce and raise money for The Actors Fund.

Tomorrow, "Stars In The House" will mark the five year anniversary of "Broadway For Orlando" and the release of the special cover of "What The World Needs Now Is Love," which raised over $100,000 for the The Center Orlando in 2016. The Executive Director of The Center, George A. Wallace, will appear, alongside Wayne Brady, Keala Settle, Liz Callaway, Ann Hampton Callaway, Rosie O'Donnell, and Orfeh. This very special episode, which will focus on the voices of the LGBTQ community, and more than likely feature live music from the incredible talented guest stars, will raise much needed funds and awareness for The Center Orlando in tribute to those who lost their lives during the Pulse nightclub shooting.

All episodes will livestream at 8pm ET on the Stars In The House YouTube channel, and StarsInTheHouse.com, and fans will be able to ask questions live, and make donations.
