Plays and Musicals
During our search for LGBTQ+ Theatre for Youth, we tracked down and read any piece that appeared to involve or focus on the experiences of queer youth. We relied primarily on the play’s description and other external resources. The plays below are the pieces we read, discussed, and decided to include in the database project.
Excluded Pieces
We also discovered that just because a play has queer youth characters or themes does not make it appropriate for youth audiences or performers. We tracked those titles as well and can be found in our exclusion list. We recognize that our decisions fall into a large grey space and are certainly open to moving items from this list back into the website database. If you see a title that you feel should be moved, please reach out and talk to us about it.
Missing Pieces
If you do not see a play title that you think could be a part of this collection, please let us know. You can fill out the Play Submission form located at the bottom of each page or directly via this link.
