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?

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!

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

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

Thanks for your suggestions so far.
