Audra McDonald, Gavin Creel, Jeanine Tesori & More Join Honest Accomplice Theatre's Advisory Board

The emerging theatre company, Honest Accomplice Theatre, founded by Maggie Keenan-Bolger, has announced their new Advisory Board of Gavin Creel, William Ivey Long, Audra McDonald, Greg Nobile, Jordan Roth, and Jeanine Tesori. The new honorary board members will host a Kickstarter Launch Party for Honest Accomplice on Thursday, March 5, 2015 at the Antler Beer & Wine Dispensary (123 Allen Street) from 7-10 pm. There is a $10 suggested donation for the event which features drink specials, raffles, and prizes from The Muse Hotel, Bindle and Keep, 54 Below, and many more! Reservations can be made at www.honestaccomplice.org.

Honest Accomplice's Kickstarter campaign will help fund their 2015-16 season which includes a college tour of their show The Birds and the Bees: Unabridged. The Birds and the Bees: Unabridged offers a sex-positive, LGBTQIA inclusive look at female and trans sexuality in our society. Their second season will also include events for their group, Queer Women and Trans People in the Performing Arts, a group hoping to increase the diversity of representations of queer women and trans people on stage. Finally, they will be conducting a survey of new work, which will appeal to individuals around the country to offer suggestions for their next theatrical endeavor.

Andrew Keenan-Bolger and Celia Keenan-Bolger serve as the company's president and treasurer, respectively.

Honest Accomplice Theatre is a non-profit with a mission to generate dialogue and stimulate change by focusing on topics that are often silenced, seen as shameful, or portrayed as one-dimensional. To deliver on this mission, Honest Accomplice Theatre produces work by the community, with the community, and for the community. The result is group-created performance pieces that embody truthful characters, scenarios, and ideas. This creation of new art is vital to counteract mainstream work, which often ignores, or misrepresents the voices and interests of real people. Honest Accomplice Theatre's previous projects have centered on the themes of sex and sexuality, women's experiences in public spaces, self-injury, aging, and LGBTQIA youth homelessness.
