What's ahead: TDOV Video Project LGBTQ Writers' Workshop Love + Solidarity Postponed This Bitter Earth Talkback Liberate Your Spirit Facebook Twitter Instagram Speaking Out for Equality is an online exhibit produced by the John J. Wilcox Jr. Archives that tells the courageous story of the struggle for LGBT civil rights in the courts and in the streets.

For LGBTQ+ writers, a lack of queer-focused guidance, support, and community in writing workshops can stifle or even stall progress for novels. Taking place over nine months, the Novel Immersive for LGBTQ+ Writers is a program uniquely designed to fill this void and help queer writers complete or make significant progress towards completing a draft of their novel in a supportive community.   Join our Chief Development Officer, Erin Busbee, and founder & artistic director of InterAct Theatre Company, Seth Rozin on Feb 13 at 2 PM for a conversation about InterAct’s latest play This Bitter Earth.  A protest brought Jesse, an introspective Black playwright, together with his white boyfriend Neil, a Black Lives Matter activist. But as Neil immerses himself deeper in the movement, Jesse finds his choices challenged and their love on the line.   These are difficult times. There's help there when you need it.
