Project is 21 interviews with young people of diverse backgrounds, completed by GLOW creators, Jamila Humphrie and Emily Schorr Lesnick, about their identities, the labels they claim or create, and the biggest issues facing their communities is turned into an interactive script, made entirely of the words of the interview participants, combining audience, theatre, and community. Now, a versatile cast playing multiple roles brings these stories to life is a powerful, energizing performance.

"By learning about these young Gay, Lesbian (or whatever) people, we hope audiences will leave with a desire to deepen cross-generational dialogue and to work in solidarity with these young people towards structural changes that support their identities," said Humphrie and Lesnick about this exciting and ground-breaking project.
