The Theater Offensive, Boston, MA Videos

Letta Neely is BACK with an all new one-woman show! While it is often said that we are cut from the same cloth, the fibers that create the threads of our being are all different. Written and performed by Letta Neely, Pulling It All Into The Current, is a tour-de-force one-woman performance that delves into the complex textures embodied in a unique family quilt. Experience this dynamic work, for a limited time at The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, presented by The Theater Offensive. Tickets available via our website 🎭 Written and Performed by Letta Neely Co-Directed by Giselle Byrd and Amanda Shea Originally Directed by Greg Allen Co-Conceived by Letta Neely and Greg Allen Originally produced by A Revolution of Values Theatre Project Video Credits: Video by @emelinefilms Sound Design by @mckersin #PullingItAllIntoTheCurrent #PIATC #LettaNeely #TheTheaterOffensive#ThingsToDoInBoston

We are The Theater Offensive and we’d love your support this Pride season! Since 1989, we’ve used art as a vehicle for social justice! We’re known to be radical in our work and ethos, and we will continue the fight to dismantle white supremacy in the arts and our lives. Will you stand with us toward a more liberated reality for queer and trans people of color? #TheTheaterOffensive #TTOPride35 #35YearsofTTO

This Black Futures Month we’re celebrating living legends and leaders who’ve paved the way for us to live our best queer and trans lives! Lineage and Time Travel: The Beautiful Collision This is how the spell works. We remember who we come from. We honor the maps they forged for us through their magic, grief, revolts, triumph, and joy. In their name, we conjure our own magic for ourselves, for each other, and for the ones that will come after. We are the portal and we are the destination. We are the prophets and we are the destiny. This is our birthright. Full interview coming soon! 🎥 @gvanifilms #BlackFuturesMonth #LivingLegends #TheTheaterOffensive #LineageAndTimeTravel
