Breakthrough Workshop Theatre presents the 8th Annual Presentation of
DEAR HARVEY
Written by Patricia Loughrey
Original Music by Thomas Hodges
Directed by Terri Bratcher
“I am all of us.” -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.
Presenting this play is an annual BWT tradition, and this year’s presentation will be directed by Breakthrough Icon Terri Bratcher, who has participated with Breakthrough Workshop Theatre in over 25 projects.
This year's presentation of Dear Harvey is once again made possible in part due to a generous grant from San Diego LGBT Pride and is being presented free of charge for one performance only at the beautiful La Jolla Riford Library.
