💢 #TheTheaterOffensive’s Black Box Theater, Boylston, designed with a campy modern aesthetic, will be the largest theater in the world owned and operated by LGBTQ people of color for all LGBTQ people, their allies, families, and friends.
💢 #GrubStreet’s first permanent home in the Seaport District will be a home for its renowned literacy and storytelling programs and a showcase of emerging talent, artists too often unheard, and bring well-known thinkers from around the globe.
