About Face Theatre

About Face supports everyone taking part in the #DSGwalkout today in FL. Stand up, walk out, protest, make your voices heard! We are mighty and we will not be forced back into the closet by these homophobic and transphobic laws!

To help us continue this vital work, @HollisterCo has selected About Face to receive a major grant for the 2nd year in row! Together, AFT and Hollister are helping to normalize conversations around mental health and wellness for youth in Chicago and around the world.

This isn’t just a one-day thing--It’s a conversation starter meant to encourage dialogue that disrupts the stigma surrounding mental health.

Today we are celebrating #WorldTeenMentalWellnessDay. Founded by @HollisterCo in 2020, March 2nd is an annual reminder that it’s ok to prioritize your own mental health and safety.

Happy National Coming Out Day!! Whether you're already out, you're not yet out, you're in the process of coming out, we want you to know that you are a beautiful and important part of the queer community. We support you and love you for who you are. Welcome to the party!

Are you interested in changing the world through theatre & social activism? Seeking a safe place to explore gender & sexual identity? Or just looking to make friends & connect with other queer youth? Then About Face Youth Theatre is for you! Learn more at aboutfacetheatre.com/afyt/

We are celebrating all of our glorious pansexual siblings on this Pansexual Visibility Day . Attraction, like gender, is a spectrum and contains multitudes. The gender of someone's partner (or partners) does not define their sexuality.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Green Room Collective, a new mentorship program for early-career LGBTQ+ arts leaders. Learn more at aboutfacetheatre.com/news-archive/g…
