Friends,

Fourteen months ago we shut our doors without knowing when we would open them again. It is with immense joy and deep thanks that we are announcing our 36th Season of LGBTQ+ work, HOMECOMING.

Diversionary Theatre has recenlty hired Frankie Alicea-Ford to fill its new Associate Artistic Director position, according to Broadway World San Diego.

If you haven’t seen the light at the end of the tunnel yet, you can find it at 4545 Park Blvd! Our building renovations are well under way as part of the Securing Our Future: Safety & Theatre Enhancement campaign, and we cannot wait to invite you back to the theatre this Fall.

Join us for a night of original stories and illustrations from San Diego's LGBTQ and allied communities on Friday, March 5 at 7 pm.

The Stonewall Salon teams up with Write Out Loud to give a voice to older adults touching on the theme of Civil Liberties. Tune in for a unique look into a diverse set of stories shared online told in the tradition of Kamishibai (or visual) storytelling.

Through a virtual announcement on Saturday, Feb. 13, Diversionary Theatre announced some major expansion plans including the addition of a new education space, and a cabaret bar. As San Diego's only LGBTQ theater company, the organization has already reached 85% of its $2.5 million fundraising goal that will allow these changes to happen.

The Gratitude Project is Diversionary’s way of saying Thank You to the community. For a limited time, Diversionary will be accepting statements of 20 words or less about what folx in our community are feeling grateful for, and sharing them out on social media, #DTGRATITUDE. 

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, San Diego's Diversionary Theatre, like most other theater companies around the world, has had to cancel its public productions for the unforeseen future.

And now for something completely different....

A small cast delivers big audience satisfaction in the quirky “Lizard Boy, the Musical,” playing through Oct. 30 at Diversionary Theatre.

It’s a story like no other, in a show the likes of which I’m sure you’ve never seen. In any case, I can almost guarantee you’ll like it.
