Guided by their mission, The Theater Offensive has driven its ambitious programming to the cutting edge of queer culture and politics since 1989. Grounded in their commitment to build an activist-based artistic forum, their groundbreaking programming has become a vital arena for the unique voices of diverse queer cultures, and has led to lasting coalitions between the varied communities under the queer umbrella.

They accomplish this work through meaningful ongoing relationships with a range of arts and organizing initiatives locally and throughout the country, and by using any and all cultural tools to make a difference in the minds, hearts, and libidos of the queer and straight communities.

It is a commitment to debunking assumptions both from inside and outside the queer communities that directs all Theater Offensive work. The Theater Offensive's work provokes vibrant discussion about the realities of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered. Through social gatherings, soirees, workshops, and post-show discussions, the organization transcends traditional theater boundaries and opens new avenues of understanding, awareness and inclusion within queer communities as well as outside them. At the basis of all of our work is a commitment to presenting honest and accurate artistic images of queer lives from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
