Welcome to the LGBTQ+ Theatre for Youth Project website!
You have entered the first-of-its-kind digital database of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ+) Theater for Youth. This new project seeks to find, read, analyze, and document as much LGBTQ+ theatre content that attends to lives of youth.
Our hope is to provide youth, educators, artists, theatre companies, scholars, playwrights, (and other interested parties), with an easy to use site where one can;
- Read about a play, its content, cast size, length, and format
- Search for plays that deal with specific LGBTQ+ communities and identity structures
- Learn about the themes, stereotypes, and tropes present in the work to not only encourage more dynamic approaches to storytelling but to also engage scholarship in the field
- Get linked to the publisher’s website for more information or to get your own copy
- Share the amazing work that playwrights and companies have made that contribute to a growing body of diverse LGBTQ+ Theatre for Youth!
- Explore additional resources including; youth theatre companies, queer literature, educational websites, etc.
