Since raising the curtain on their first performance in 2012, Theatre Outre has highlighted and represented and explored the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Lethbridge through productions and other events.
To recognize the groundbreaking company's work and dedication to the city, the Galt Museum and Archives has created a new temporary exhibit,"It means so much to see all that we've accomplished through the years put in this beautiful display. It's really touching me," said Theatre Outre co-founder Jay Whitehead.
The exhibit shows off their history, from the early days above The Owl to their last day at Didi's Playhaus and everything in between."Theatre Outre has been very scrappy and always put things together so there are several props and objects that have been highlighted here that have been made from little-to-nothing or found out of their own projects," says guest curator Jason Ranaghan. "That's one of my favourite aspects of the exhibition.
Tomorrow evening at 7pm, join us for the launch of our Acting Out exhibit! Over a decade of Theatre Outré history is on display in this fantastic project and the exhibit launch event will feature the voices involved in making it happen.
