DEAR HARVEY

“All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.” -Harvey Milk
Extensively researched and beautifully constructed, this documentary-style ensemble play recounts the life and lasting impact of groundbreaking LGBT activist and politician Harvey Milk, as told by the people who knew him best. Spoken word combines with multimedia and music as an ensemble cast moves in and out of the identities of real-world figures whose lives were forever altered by Milk's too-short career. This spirited play reaffirms his impact and the continued relevance of his campaign towards equality, three decades after his assassination. An annual BWT tradition, this year’s “Breakthrough Workshop” features a stellar all-youth cast of artists ages 13 to 19. This reading is being produced by BREAKTHROUGH WORKSHOP THEATRE for one night only at the historic Diversionary Theatre (where the play was originally commissioned in 2009) and the reading will occur on June 26th, the one-year anniversary of the 2015 Supreme Court marriage equality ruling.
