About
The Theater Offensive isn't your typical theater company. It's been producing queer theater in Boston since 1986, making it a fixture of the city's LGBTQ arts scene. As the resident company at Boston Center for the Arts in the South End, it presents stage productions, a Queer Theater Festival every October, and street theater. It also runs a youth program. This is a space where queer stories take center stage, not just during Pride month.
The BCA venue is intimate, so you're close to the action. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:30am to 5pm, but shows typically run evenings. Check their lineup early: the Queer Theater Festival often sells out. If you're planning a date, it's a thoughtful alternative to a bar. Nearby, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is worth a visit for its queer-friendly exhibitions.
