Using theatre-for-dialogue, Peers for Pride is creating space to ask: What do thriving queer communities look like? in a two-semester long course that culminates in a community-building Final Performance. This year, the 17th Cohort of PFP invites you to a performance where characters will tell their stories in monologues based in  LGBTQIA+ experiences and engages audiences in meaningful dialogue about how to support them.

Peers for Pride’s final performance will be Thursday, April 11 at 4PM-6PM at WCP 1.106, so don’t miss out! We will have light refreshments.

Be a part of a year-long cohort that takes consists of two courses—one in each of the Fall and Spring semesters.  The Fall semester is spent learning about history, content, and theory about intersectional LGBTQIA+ topics including experiences of oppression, and the second semester consists of applied theater-for-dialogue techniques to host performances that invite audiences into conversations about supporting a world where queer people thrive!
