It has been quite a year! Two Jeff Awards for Under A Rainbow Flag and author Leo Schwarz**. We produced a lovely revival of Beautiful Thing directed by John Nasca*, and the exciting new work Directions for Restoring the Apparently Dead by Martin Casella**.  At The Flash by Sean Chandler** and David Leeper* was a success at Celebration Theater in Los Angeles.  And over 15 writers came to Chicago as we presented their work in our three festival weekends for LGBT plays, LGBT screenplays, and Women's Work - plays or screenplays written by women with lesbian characters or themes.  

Your financial support makes all of our work possible, and for that, we thank you!

We now have two shows in rehearsal for spring openings - the essential classic The Children's Hour by Lillian Hellman directed by Derek Bertelsen*, and the Chicago premiere of Mark Campbell's Songs From An Unmade Bed directed by Derek Van Barham*. By looking back to classic works, we have a better understanding of our path to the future.  

And we are working on The Sochi Project which will look at LGBT atheletes as we head into the already controversial Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.  

As we move forward, please consider making a donation to support our mission; your financial assistance is critically important to our work. 

Meet the PFF Artistic Team! Our Artistic Ensemble members are some of the finest actors and directors working in Chicago.  See what other theaters and arts organizations they have worked at this year! And you can also read about the talented members of our Writers Network.  Their distinct voices are already shaping the future.
