Our vision is to foster and amplify the next generation of LGBTQIA+ voices by providing live entertainment in a dynamic, inclusive, and provocative environment that celebrates and preserves our unique culture.Diversionary Theatre (Diversionary) is the third-oldest LGBTQIA+ theatre in the country, founded in 1986 during the darkest days of the HIV/AIDS crisis in order to bring to light important social issues that impact the quality of life of LGBT people. Diversionary has been a beacon for a community searching for a platform to be heard for over three decades. The rapidly evolving national debate over LGBT rights, marriage equality, adoption rights, discrimination, and bullying all speak to the need for our mission, and indeed, Diversionary has been instrumental in fostering the conversation over these issues in San Diego.Diversionary is a rare, yet essential part of the American cultural landscape, and as the only LGBTQIA+ theatre in San Diego, a vital part of the communitys arts ecology. Since its inception Diversionary has produced over 150 World, West Coast, and San Diego premieres and revivals, as well as a host of arts education programs sowing cultural tolerance and a theatre-going audience of the future.Our Arts Education Program is focused on providing cross-cultural understanding around LGBT themes and providing resources for participants to gain a better understanding of themselves and the broader world in which they live. While we are a small theatre organization, we are proud of the diversity of what we are able to offer. Our education program provides arts education activities that are integrated throughout Diversionarys mainstage productions, and also provides stand-alone programming in our historic site in University Heights and in classrooms at participating schools across San Diego County.Awards and Accomplishments-WINNER of multiple San Diego Critics Circle Awards:-2019 Outstanding Lead Performance
