A huge cast, new writing, some favorites, and the most terrific evening of celebration about life, love, and acceptance. It's not enough to be aware--what can we all do to help our communities be safe & supportive for all our young people?

Come to USM, UNE or to down town Portland and enjoy the last performance prior to the publishing of the Out & Allied Anthology!

About the project:
What does it mean to be an ally in school? The Out & Allied Project is a dynamic program that centers around teen participants writing performance pieces including short plays, spoken word, and poetry that address issues of cultivating allies among queer and questioning youth. Final pieces receive a staged reading, and may be included in both future performances as well as an anthology of performance pieces on queer and allied issues.
