AUDITIONS
All graduated 8th - 12th grade students are invited to audition for Acme’s summer production.
All who audition will be cast!
Dear Harvey
By Patricia Loughrey, Music by Thomas Hodges
Come explore the life and groundbreaking, lasting impact of gay activist and politician Harvey Milk, through the words of the people who knew him best. This documentary-style play weaves together interviews, multimedia and music in a tribute to the transformative power of community organizing. In the forty-five years since Harvey called his community out into the streets, and into the voting booth, how far have we come in our struggle for LGBT rights? And where is that struggle leading us now?
