The Theater Offensive takes you Beyond the Stage
BEYOND THE STAGE is the premier benefit for True Colors: Out Youth Theater

A Message from our Event Chair, Steve Kauffman: "I came out at 19. It was not easy, but even with family turmoil, I knew I had a place to sleep, a warm meal on the table and a family that continued to love me. This is not the case, even today, for so many LGBT youth. Therefore, I am doing what I can to help, support or inspire a young person who may be struggling to find hope. These young people have also inspired me. Their energy and brave voices in the face of hardships create change that impacts thousands of other youth and adults alike. That's why I became more involved; and that's why I am asking you to join me on November 6."

True Colors: Out Youth Theater troupe works with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer youth & straight allies in the creation of original touring performances based on their personal experiences, including: bullying, coming out, and discrimination.

Beyond the Stage is your opportunity to meet the remarkable youth, hear their stories, and experience their creativity and talent.

"True Colors allowed me to express my trust artistic skill and reinforced for me that love has no limits or restrictions." - Giftson, True Colors Alum
