Your donation fuels representation, opportunity, and queer joy — onstage and off.
Across the country, queer visibility is shrinking. Books are banned, shows are censored, and artists are pushed to the margins.
But every LGBTQ+ story we put on stage pushes back.
Every performance becomes a form of peaceful defiance—proof that art can’t be legislated away.
Your donation helps us continue that resistance.
Queer joy is radical. Queer storytelling saves lives.
For someone who has been told their identity is “too much” or “not enough,” seeing a character who looks like them, loves like them, or is them can change everything.
Your gift helps us create the kind of art that consoles, empowers, and transforms.
Telling the truth about queer lives is more than art—it’s an act of freedom. Each story, each performance, each character who dares to live authentically on stage pushes back against a world that seeks to confine us.
Representation is not just visibility—it is the liberation of hearts, minds, and futures.
Your support helps make this freedom visible.
