If you are in Manhattan NY over the next few days, then you really should go to Judson Memorial Church Church. But not until Monday (June 30th) that is. Panic not, we haven’t discovered ‘religion’ …… well, not of the traditional kind but we do kind of worship Murray Hill the legendary Drag King who will be co-hosting that night. The occasion is the launch of SAY GAY PLAYS 2025.
At its heart this is a kind of theatrical activism : they provide access to short royalty free plays by queer playrights from around the country to use as a tool for change. These stories are used to organize communities, combat harmful anti-LGBTQ legislation and rhetoric, and raise essential funds for local organisations
| So on Monday in ‘Church” they will be previewing 6 new plays
