Rainbow Story Hour

Third Friday Monthly
Rainbow Story Hour

Story time for the whole family

Imaginative and immersive fun for little readers!

Little ones are invited to settle back and listen to a story read by a member of our LGBTQIA+ community. HOTA’s Rainbow Story Hour program champions body positivity and role models in all different shapes, sizes, diversities, and encourages the imagination and play of childhood.

Featuring artists, singers, and creatives of all genre, Rainbow Story Hour is a fun way for kids to connect with their imagination, meet friends, and explore vivid realms.

Children must be accompanied by an adult or carer and cannot be left unsupervised at any time. Thank you for your understanding.

With Ainslee Palmer

Ainslee Palmer is an Actor, Theatre Maker, Producer and Movement Director with a passion for play and artistic curiosity. After graduating from the University of Southern Queensland with a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Theatre/Acting) in 2013, Ainslee moved to New York City where she worked with Tectonic Theatre Project as a teaching artist and performer with various theatre companies. In 2017 Ainslee moved to Brisbane and worked in Arts Health in several aged care facilities around Southeast Queensland: facilitating workshops with people living with dementia. In 2018, Ainslee formed a strong collaboration with White Rabbit Theatre as a performer, producer and facilitator and in 2019 joined the company as Associate Director. Ainslee debuted her one-woman show ‘Ready or Not’ at HOTA Home of the Arts in April 2024. Ainslee describes her practice as a feminist-based, inclusive environment to break rules, give a voice to the voiceless.
