Has a powerful story ever changed your perspective or understanding? We create theatre to open hearts and minds in powerful ways and move toward a better future. AFT board members can help amplify underrepresented voices in the LGBTQIA community, and help create a brave space for our youth to explore creativity, leadership, and social change. This has been life-changing and life-saving for many.

Our Programs

Our programs include: (1) A season of LGBTQIA+ focused Equity theatre productions featuring premieres of groundbreaking work; (2) Year-round educational programming that includes theatre and leadership training for youth, a touring show, and public performances; (3) Special readings and workshops throughout the year to support the development of new work that aligns with our mission.

We seek members who are passionate about our mission, support LBGTQIA+ issues, believe in the power of theatre, and who are motivated to serve a community. We seek members who bring joy and positivity along with professional skills, strong networks, and a readiness to raise resources and build connections.
