Art, heart, and activism.
Proud Theater is an award-winning, exciting and innovative youth theater program whose mission is ‘to change the world through the power of theater and the theater arts, and to make a positive difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ and allied youth through the tenets of art, heart, and activism’.
Founded in 1999 in Madison, Wisconsin, Proud Theater has expanded to serve communities throughout Wisconsin. Like a book, we divide our program into chapters, which are the change-makers and artists working in a community together through Proud Theater. We have chapters in Green Bay, Madison, and Wausau.
Proud Theater is open to youth ages 13 to 19 who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning or who are allied with the queer community (LGBTQ+). Proud Theater is also open to youth with LGBTQ+ parents. Empowering and creative, Proud Theater encourages young people to share their own stories through original theatrical works which they then present to the community at large throughout the school year.
