Pride Plays was founded by actor Michael Urie (currently on Broadway with ONCE UPON A MATTRESS), Doug Nevin, and Nick Slie to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Stonewall in NYC. Post pandemic, Pride Plays has returned, under the leadership of producers Sam Gravitte (also a Broadway actor), and Sammy Lopez (a Broadway producer in his own right) and is excited to expand to Washington DC in celebration of WorldPride before heading back to NYC at the end of June. The goal of Pride Plays is to showcase the rich tapestry of LGBTQIA+ experiences through the power of theatre, specifically in a festival format, with readings and events taking over Woolly Mammoth with works from the canon as well as new plays. The festival will not only highlight DC based LGBTQ+ artists but also to bring folks in from around the country to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues and celebrate the community’s resilience and diversity during this historic moment of WorldPride.
