Each year, Dreams of Hope launches an original production created and performed by its theatriQ Youth Ensemble, developed in residence at KST’s Alloy Studios. The young artists, ages 13-21, work with professional collaborators and advisers to develop stage works that address LGBTQ themes and issues. This year, they present Hearts on Hold,  adding to a range of past productions that have examined individual mythology by weaving storytelling from ancient Greece to Tumblr (Webs), created a magical dramedy in which members of a high school gay-straight alliance gain magical powers (Lavender Spell) and welcomed audiences to a feast that celebrates gardens, communities, and, above all, life (Sun-Dried Tomatoes).

Full program details to be announced. Visit www.kelly-strayhorn.org.

About TheatriQ
Through the power of the arts, Dreams of Hope provides the region’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, asexual, and allied (LGBTQA+) youth a welcoming environment to grow in confidence, express themselves, and develop as leaders. Their creative contributions educate audiences, build awareness, and increase acceptance.

Our performance ensemble, theatriQ, (ages 13-21) works with professional artists to create original work addressing LGBTQA+ themes. They engage and educate audiences through performances and hands-on workshops.
