30th Anniversary Party

Thirty years ago About Face Theatre Collective was an idea “dedicated to the artistic, intellectual, and political exploration of queer lives, experiences, and histories.” Thanks to you, and thousands of people who believe in that idea, About Face continues as a nationally recognized home for new and bold performances by and about LGBTQ+ people of all ages.

While we lift up changes and we challenge injustices, we are focused on the future with you: our glorious LGBTQ+ community and allies. With nearly 100 world premieres and dozens of other productions under our belts, we know that our stories have power. Your story has power.

Please join us to celebrate our legacy and to continue to shape the future of AFT.
