Say Gay Plays

Voyage Theater Company will present the 2nd annual SAY GAY PLAYS on June 30 at 7PM, hosted by Murray Hill (Somebody Somewhere) and Yuhua Hamasaki (RuPaul’s Drag Race) at Judson Memorial Church. The goal of SAY GAY PLAYS is two-fold: to raise awareness for LGBTQ+ equality and offer financial support to potentially hundreds of not-for-profit organizations across the country.

SAY GAY PLAYS will feature staged readings of 6 LGBTQ+ themed short plays by: Kamilah Bush, Vichet Chum, SMJ, Haruna Lee, Azure D. Osborne-Lee, and Brian Quirk. Following the benefit reading, these plays (as well last year’s plays by Fernanda Coppel, Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Ty Defoe, Marquis D. Gibson, Nina Ki, Derick Edgren Otero, Harrison David Rivers, J. Harvey Stone, Lucy Thurber and Doug Wright) will be made available royalty-free to not-for-profit theaters, colleges and universities, and community organizations across the nation for use to present their own fundraising events on behalf of LGBTQ+ organizations in their communities.

The 2025 SAY GAY PLAYS are:

morning routine

by SMJ

Quinn’s Friday morning routine is simple: wake up, walk the dog, try to shower, try to avoid an existential crisis about their gender presentation, and then go to work. A magical play about a person, their beard, and their razor.

Let’s Sit Down

by Haruna Lee

Age gaps are normal in queer love, right? Like Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor? You wanna meet my mom?

B R I C K

by Azure D. Osborne-Lee

In a not-so-distant dystopian future, freedom fighters search for a symbol to unite their cause.

Trust Faith and Confidence

by Brian Quirk

Who is this mysterious older gentleman? And why is he trying to connect with this 16 year old boy? Can a chance encounter change the course of a life?
