WHAT IS THE NAME?

Troupe = a group of entertainers, performers, and unique individuals who work and hang out together

429 = "G-A-Y" on a telephone key pad. during the Stonewall-era and acts like the "Sip-In" at Julius' Bar in NYC, “429” was used as a code to identify if someone else was "429" or gay

Troupe also has a double meaning, because our favorite movie is the 1989 comedy “Troop Beverly Hills” starring Shelley Long

WE ARE TROUPE429!

HOW WE STARTED

In January 2016, the Troupe429 pop-up party began at an underground bar hidden beneath the Italian restaurant Cielo at The Mayfair in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City.

Folks gathered every month to dust off our Nintendo64 for Mario Kart races, catch up with friends over beer pong, bop to throwback tunes, and enjoy each other's company.

In November 2017, the party opened its permanent home in Connecticut at 3 Wall Street in Norwalk. Come visit us!
