Breakthrough Workshop Theatre presents the 3rd Annual "Breakthrough Workshop" of
Dear Harvey
Written by Patricia Loughrey
Original Music by and featuring Thomas Hodges
Directed by Shane Allen*
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.
"Dear Harvey" has been produced every season at Breakthrough Workshop Theatre, including the award-winning production at the 1st San Diego Fringe Festival, the week following the Supreme Court's 2013 DOMA ruling. Harvey Milk has left an undeniable legacy on the LGBT community and as you experience "Dear Harvey," you will find a "breakthrough" in every story.
