Mission:
Liberation.
To present liberating art by, for, and about queer and trans people of color that transcends artistic boundaries, celebrates cultural abundance, and dismantles oppression.
We’re raising $35k to celebrate 35 years of TTO!
Dear TTO family,
Queer and trans joy is our birthright. In this time of increased uncertainty and fear, I hope that in this season we all can find belonging through the shared experience of our humanity, and are provided the gifts of warmth, jubilation, and most importantly, unconditional love.
I have been blessed to receive these gifts since my arrival at The Theater Offensive just one year ago. I am proud to carry TTO’S legacy of resilience and activism into the future alongside you, our TTO family.
Join us in protecting queer and trans joy and ensuring that TTO can thrive in its 35th year and beyond.
In these times, it is not a choice.
We simply must.
With love and solidarity,
Giselle K. Byrd
Executive Director, The Theater Offensive
TTO Cyphers
This is a special offering to our community in celebration of 35 Years of TTO and our future home in The Fenway.
We all know that queer and trans folks make art wherever we are - even a raw, pre-construction theater! While we continue fundraising, we felt it necessary to continue activating our mission "to present liberating art by, for and about queer and trans people of color."
Enter the TTO Cyphers, featuring a few faces you may recognize. First to the stage, Reverend Irene Monroe with a word of inspiration to the tune of the Queer Liberatory Aesthetics we released in 2021.
Take it away, Reverend Irene!
