TIX ON SALE NOW 🎟️ https://secure.givelively.org/event/western-montana-gay-and-lesbian-community-center/say-gay-plays-2026Montana Repertory Theatre and the Western Montana LGBTQ+ Center, in partnership with MissCast Productions, Room 131 Productions, and Griz Downstage, are excited to present the 2nd Annual SAY GAY PLAYS in Missoula, an evening of queer theatre to benefit the Center on Saturday, January 17, 2026 at 7:30 PM (doors at 7 PM) in the Montana Theatre on the University of Montana Campus (PARTV Building, 12 Campus Drive).
The 2nd ANNUAL SAY GAY PLAYS in Missoula will feature staged readings of several LGBTQ+ themed short plays, some selected from the catalog curated by Voyage Theatre Company, and some selected by The Rep. Titles include: Montana by Emily Feldman (Room 131 Productions), The Dungeons and the Dragons by Kyle John Schmidt (Griz Downstage), our own f*cking play by Esho Rasho (Griz Downstage), Couch Surfing by Emilio Williams (MissCast Productions), morning routine. by SMJ (MissCast Productions), BoyTalk by Erik Gernand (Montana Repertory Theatre), and Words the Wind Carried Me by Kamilah Bush (Montana Repertory Theatre). All ticket sales will directly benefit the Western Montana LGBTQ+ Community Center in Missoula.
SAY GAY PLAYS was conceived by Voyage Theater Company in association with Tectonic Theater Project, Miami New Drama, and Provincetown Theater in response to the 2022 passage of the Parental Rights in Education bill in Florida, commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. In 2023, more than 520 state bills attacking LGBTQ+ rights were introduced, with more than 75 becoming law. The Human Rights Campaign officially declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the United States for the first time in history. And it’s getting worse. According to the ACLU, in 2024 alone, more than 300 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced in 35 state legislatures around the country. SAY GAY PLAYS is about sharing queer stories of courage, triumph, and joy to counter the harmful narratives used as justification for the passage of these discriminatory bills.
As always with Montana Repertory Theatre productions, tickets are Pick-What-You-Pay – this time in support of the Center! If you can afford a ticket for $5, pay $5! If you can afford a ticket for $50, pay $50! $20 recommended.
