Queer Youth Theater Summit


QUEER YOUTH THEATER SUMMIT
September 23-25

 

This September, The Theater Offensive made history by hosting the Queer Youth Theater Summit, the first EVER multiregional retreat for LGBT youth performers! Omaha's Pride Players and Pittsburgh's Dreams of Hope joined True Colors to connect with fellow artists, share techniques for creating theater and promoting activism and expand their perspective of queer youth issues.

 

Some memorable quotes of the weekend:

 

"The Queer Youth Theater Summit is helping to create the world I wanted to live in when I was growing up." - Abe Rybeck, Artistic Director

 

"When we all unite, we feel unstoppable."

 

"I want to take back the inspiration that you guys have given me, and spread it around my school."

 

"Thank you all for opening up and being yourselves. Because it reminds me that there's hope in the world."
