Artistic Director Mark Finley and Managing Director Barry Childs, who revived TOSOS in 2002 with original founder Doric Wilson, received the TOSOS Honors Award in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the company in 1974. It’s thanks to them this company survived!

 

COMMUNITY

Board President Brooke Haven

Community is big for us. With great joy and good humor, we bring our TOSOS family together at social events like our play readings and holiday parties. We discuss and debate the art we showcase — to learn from each other and build respect and understanding — and have lots of laughs!

At TOSOS, we embrace our differences. As an LGBTQ+ theater company, we value the diversity of artistic, cultural and life perspectives our artists bring to our stages. As storytellers, we champion the voices that aren’t being heard. As people, we strive toward equality, toward a world where everyone is welcome to the party. Join us!
