Diversionary Theatre is the third-oldest LGBTQ+ theatre in the United States, providing quality live theatre that aims to amplify the diverse voices of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities while promoting social justice for marginalized groups.

Diversionary Theatre would like to acknowledge that our theatre resides on the land of the Ipai-Tipai, also known as the Kumeyaay Nation. We pay respect to the many elders, and to the tribe of this land; past, present, and future.

We acknowledge the waves of colonization that have oppressed these nations, and the treaties that were signed and then broken by the United States, specifically our local Treaty of Santa Ysabel.

With the start of July, we've officially begun a new season at Diversionary, and with that, a change in leadership of our Board of Directors. We would like to thank our outgoing board president, Scott Williford @slwilllifo, for eight years of incredible service to Diversionary and the community. We are excited to welcome Russ Sperling @russsperling as our incoming Board President, who some of you may know as the Director of Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) for San Diego Unified School District. A huge thank you to Scott and Russ!

We couldn't have pulled off our recent Reproductiv

We couldn't have pulled off our recent Reproductive Rights Fundraiser without our volunteers. San Diego Pride @sandiegopride is no different, and relies on over 1,500 volunteers to help them execute Pride weekend. Each 5-hour volunteer shift entitles you to free entry into the two-day festival, a free t-shirt, a meal, and an opportunity to connect with great people. They are behind in their volunteer sign-ups and need your help in bringing your friends, family, coworkers, and straight allies to support our Parade and Festival on July 16th & 17th. Please sign up and invite your friends, families, and coworkers at the link in our bio!

High need volunteer areas:
- Emergency Exits
- Festival Entrance
- Festival Guest Relations
- Parade Breakdown

After a full run and two extension weeks, our production of world-premiere musical EIGHTY-SIXED has come to a close, and with it, our 2021/2022 season.

Last Saturday was our Reproductive Rights Fundrais

Last Saturday was our Reproductive Rights Fundraiser, and what an incredible day it was. Thanks to everyone that participated. If you weren't there, we hope this highlight reel will make you feel like you were. We are still collecting much-needed donations on behalf of The Afiya Center, Indigenous Women Rising, National LGBTQ Task Force, and Yellowhammer Fund, and you can donate via the link in our bio. Some important news we learned from our speakers: at some point before the end of this month, the Supreme Court could issue a decision overturning Roe v. Wade, at which point there will be a candlelight vigil that evening in Waterfront Park at 7pm. Please join us!

In this reel you will see: Local artisans Paula Tallal, Andrea Agosto @andreanagosto, Jacqueline Olsen, and Candy Queen Shannon. Poetry with Kelsey Olivia Daniels @andsheshere_, Brooke Gerbers @brookegerbers & Andrea Agosto @andreariquena. Music with Mariana Green @banyanboii and the Sue Palmer Jazz Quartet.

Our wonderful speakers were California Senate President pro Tempore Toni G. Atkins @senatortoniatkins (congratulations on passing #SCA10!); Judith Howell, Community Advocate at Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest @pppswhealth @ppact; Jen LaBarbera, Director of Education & Advocacy at SD Pride @sandiegopride; Liz Balcom, National Chair, Board of Governors, Human Rights Campaign @hrcsandiego.

We would like to continue to organize and activate through art - if you have an event you are interested in putting together, please DM us!
