Thank you everyone that came out to our reading WTC View on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. We’re feeling so lucky and grateful for our community, and loved sharing such a big night with you.

Thanks to Brian Sloan for his resonant script, to Michael Urie for his direction and joy, and to Lisa Owaki Bierman for perfectly rounding out our directing team. And of course - our cast. We were thrilled by the talent and kindness at every part of this process. Thanks everyone for a wonderful evening.

Incredible first rehearsal for Friday’s WTC VIEW 25th Anniversary Reading. We are so lucky to have this brilliant team assembled - it is going to be an amazing night of theatre. We can’t wait to see you there for Brian Sloan’s sweet, funny, gentle, mesmerizing play, directed by Michael Urie and starring Miles Heizer in the role Michael originated.

Announcing our 44th season: The Year of Desire — stories that are erotic, ecstatic, seeking, and defiantly queer. Across three mainstage productions, Season 44 poses a single question —what if you got what you’re aching for? — as both invitation and dare, centering desire in all its forms: erotic, spiritual, ancestral, communal.

Three shows, three distinct voices, three different meditations about what we want. Together they insist that desire is plural, deeply human, and worth staging without apology.

First, the West Coast Premiere of HEAUX CHURCH - the Queerty-nominated sermon of radical self-love, where the erotic and the sacred meet in conversation. Written and performed by Brandon Kyle Goodman, directed by Lisa Owaki Bierman and co-produced with The Elysian in association with Lena Waithe. Then Celebration’s acclaimed new-works program, TRANS LINEAGE, returns for a dynamic 5th year with three one-act World Premieres, co-produced with Outside In Theatre and directed by Nico Pang, all centered around the theme “Desire Lines”. And finally - the return of a big Spring musical with the hit off-Broadway sensation RIDE THE CYCLONE, directed by Michael Matthews.

Outside these mainstage shows, we are excited to continue to develop works such as Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj’s @rajendraramoonmaharaj new play SWEET LORRAINE and staged readings though our Constellation Series - including the upcoming WTC VIEW directed by Michael Urie. It’s going to be a big year!

Queer joy and queer desire are not distractions from the fight - they are the fight. We can’t wait to be in community with you this season. Sign up for our newsletter for ticket drops and first announcements for these three shows and so much more.
