Why Should You Attend?
Drawn from over thirty interviews conducted by Patricia Loughrey, Dear Harvey recounts the achievements and vision of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to a major public office in the United States. The tribute play weaves together the voices of a drag queen, a State Senator, an international gay rights activist, and a nineteen-year-old composer with the personal and political writings of Harvey Milk to paint a portrait of a leader, and a vision for equality.
Dear Harvey is based on interviews with Harvey's nephew Stuart Milk, Harvey's campaign manager Anne Kronenberg, AIDS Quilt founder Cleve Jones, California State Assemblymember Tom Ammiano, activist Robin Tyler, plus other community activists, and is supported with original music by Thomas Hodges and historical photos of Harvey Milk by Daniel Nicoletta. This special reading of Dear Harvey is being presented with the assistance of San Diego's Diversionary Theatre, where the work was originally commissioned in April 2009. More information about Diversionary can be found at www.diversionary.org. Buy DEAR HARVEY tickets here.

We know that much work remains to afford equal opportunity to LGBT youth. American’s future depends on our ability to raise the next generation of adults in a supportive environment, helping every youth become the most productive citizen possible.
