Sherry Hopwood will direct an ensemble cast in bringing this groundbreaking piece of lesbian history to life - a powerful play by Dian Schaffhauser that celebrates the vibrant and resilient lesbian community in San Diego from 1970 to 2000. This production is more than just a performance; it's a tribute to the stories, struggles, and triumphs of those who helped pave the way for LGBTQ+ rights. Based on hundreds of oral interviews, The Lesbians of San Diego has been dedicated to documenting the stories of local lesbians through an oral history project. This production is the next evolution of that work, ensuring that these narratives are not just archived, but embodied, experienced, and honored in a way that makes history feel immediate and alive. This play is more than a performance. It is an act of historical reclamation, an assertion of presence, and a feminist insistence that the contributions of lesbians to our collective liberation will not be erased or forgotten. These are the stories that may never have reached a newspaper or the public eye, yet they are the stories that created an incredible culture of art, music, political activism, health advocacy and more - pushing the boundaries and carving out a safe place for our community. This is not a Diversionary Theatre production, although Diversionary is proud to host this Guest Production. The Lesbians of San Diego - "A Herstory in Two Acts" on Facebook
