Another theater question

Gay/lesbian theater recommendations?

So I actually went ahead and wrote a musical based on the gay novelty records I linked to a week or so ago.

Now I'm trying to make a list of gay/lesbian theaters or cabarets I might market the script to. Any in your neck of the woods you can recommend?

If you're curious about the script itself, I posted it for download here.

I don't know about queer theater companies, but there's Theatre Rhinoceros, a queer theater in San Francisco. It might be a good starting point to look for companies or that kind of thing.

I loved that link you posted on the blue. Try Plan-B in Salt Lake. They've done some great gay/lesbian themed plays in the past. I recently went to a reading of a play by Carol Lynn Pearson that I believe is scheduled to be produced in November. It's about the aftermath of a gay mormon suicide. I presume your play will be a bit more cheery. Cheers!

The Theater Offensive here in Boston. They're good people (my friend is the Associate Artistic Director).

Real Art Ways in Hartford is known for that sort of thing...

I'd mark you all as best, but then I'd get a MeTa callout.

Thanks for your suggestions so far.
