Out Lines Podcast
We're everywhere. We always have been and always will be. With surging LGBT+ representation in popular culture, it's hard to imagine a time when we weren't visible. But – not so very long ago – presenting the gay experience on stage was extremely risky business. In Out Lines, we explore the forgotten history of gay theater in the United States through the plays of our most influential writers. Gay theater didn't begin with Boys in the Band. Uncover the truth with us in Out Lines.
