Thank you so much for your interest in Season 2026-27 at Theatre Rhinoceros: A Season of Ambition! Against an increasingly chaotic and unstable world, Rhino aims to provide a place where our collective pain can coexist in conversation with each of our personal healing and growth.
As a theatre that would not exist without the voices and talents of those at the margins, Theatre Rhinoceros prioritizes the experiences of those at the intersection of LGBTQ+ and historically excluded backgrounds. You do not have to identify as LGBTQ+ to be part of a Theatre Rhinoceros production - however, the stories we tell onstage will always center an aspect of the vast and multi-faceted LGBTQ+ experience, with a primarily LGBTQ+ audience in mind.
