Theatre History
Diversionary
Theatre was founded in 1986 to provide quality theatre
for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.
The mission of the theatre is to
produce plays with gay, lesbian and bisexual themes
that portray characters in their complexity and diversity
both historically and contemporarily.
Diversionary
Theatre is recognized as one of San Diego's best theatres.
Though its history has been long and varied, it is one
of the most vibrant showcases of theatrical talent in
the city.
Over the past several years the theatre has elevated its productions
and extended its season. The response has been remarkable,
as its productions regularly receive "Critic's Choice", "Best Bet" reviews, and Patte' and San Diego Theatre Critics Circle Awards.
Diversionary's recent productions have included: Corpus Christi, Bluebonnet Court, The Daddy Machine, Torch Song Trilogy, The Busy World is Hushed, The Break Up Notebook - The Lesbian Musical, Bunbury, The Long Christmas Ride Home, Happy Endings Are Extra, It's A Fabulous Life, Gaytino! and When Pigs Fly.
The goal of the theatre is to continue telling the story
of the LGBT community, while providing a home and venue
for the remarkable talents of the San Diego's theatre professionals.
