A Beautiful Day in the Gayborhood - Part 1 (Philadelphia, PA)

Welcome to the third stop on our queer roadtrip, Philadelphia, PA! Go Birds! 🦅In this episode, we meet the queer youth actors, theater makers, visual artists, and filmmakers at The Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA.) You’ll hear from queer CAPA students in a roundtable discussion about life in Philadelphia at an arts high school. Then, you will hear some original writing from members of CAPA’s theater program and GSA. Finally, we go back into the (costume) closet with a CAPA theater major who has been out as queer since he was nine years old. This is Part 1 of 2 of our visit to Philadelphia, PA. 📝 RESOURCES/SHOW NOTES:Visit our site for full show notes on local queer info, history, and additional resources mentioned in this episode → https://thefutureperfectproject.org/podcast#s3e5We want to hear from you!
