Facilitated by Kelly Swope and Logan Swope, SYT Pride is a 10-week theater program for LGBTQ+ youth ages 13-21, offering a space to explore and express their identities.

SYT Pride’s vision is to provide LGBTQ+ youth with a safe space to share their experiences, collaborate, and create original theater. The goal of the program is to increase LGBTQ+ visibility and promote equity within the arts and community.

Through brainstorming sessions, participants will share stories related to their queer identities, which will then be crafted into a play that will be performed for the community.

SYT Pride empowers youth to celebrate and express their diverse experiences through theater.
