Outcast Theatre Company will present the world premiere of Joshua Robinson's play Valentine at the 133rd Street Arts Center, located at 308 West 133rd Street in New York City. The play is inspired by the real life murder of fifteen year-old Lawrence King, a Transgender student, at a middle school in Oxnard, CA in 2008. His murderer, Brandon McInerney, eventually pleaded out after his first hearings ended in mistrial. Allegations were confirmed that Lawrence had publicly expressed romantic interests in McInerney, culminating in an invitation for Brandon to be his Valentine. Brandon returned the next day and shot King twice in the head at point blank range. While the case never managed to break into a major nationwide media story, the implications of the murder, the involvement of both families, and the role of school administrators and educators in the case are issues that are pertinent to the current cultural conversation regarding the LGBTQ movement and public education. It is the hope of Outcast Theatre Company that this production of Valentine will enter into that dialogue.
