As June marks the beginning of Pride Month, that time of the month when members and allies of the LGBTQ community come together to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots, *NSYNC alum Lance Bass, along with film producer Nikki Levy, is creating 'The Path to Pride', an audio special for Audible. 

The Path to Pride production which will be a celebration of storytelling and pride at the Minetta Lane Theatre in Greenwich Village. According to a report by Broadway World, this special one-night event will take place following NYC's annual Pride day parade on Monday, June 25 at 7 pm. It is based on the Audible Original live storytelling special of the same name, which features several heartwarming stories from Bass, Levy, Frank DeCaro and Zeke Smith.

“It’s special that we’re using comedy in a way to tell these coming out stories,” Bass told Newsweek about the special.

“More people will be open to listening to it that aren’t gay. I hope people, especially [those] that have not come out yet, feel encouraged to be themselves. I’m sure everyone can relate to at least one of these stories. That’s really what it takes to get the courage to come out, finding someone that you relate to,” he said.
