The Equality Playwrights Festival is the recipient of Disney Foundation's Cast Community Fund Award.
"FOUR PLAYS: The Equality Playwrights Festival" is a presentation of commissioned one-act plays on gender identity:
Robert Askins' absurdist CLEAN LIVING, directed by Steven Ditmyer: Set in an Army barracks, two men Norm and Al try to uncover George's sexuality but Clever George will not tell, and Norm and Al can't ask.
Starring: Stepehn Buck, Christopher Kromer, Stephen Buck, and Adam Schneider
Joe Byers' VEILS, directed by Gregory Simmons, explores an American soldier's experience in a war-torn Middle-Eastern country and his first sexual encounter with a local woman.
Starring: Randy Falcon & Natasha Marco
Stuart Harris' ONNA FIELD, directed by Carlos Armesto, is about a top student and resident artist at Sidehill Boys School in West Omaha whose F in gym and concerned gym coach threaten to prevent him from being admitted to a high-ranking design school in Chicago.
Starring: Michael Early & Victor Lirio
Jorshinelle Taleon-Sonza's COLD FLESH, directed by Adam Fitzgerald, follows a newly-emigrated Filipino woman investigating significant people in her late husband's life in America to reconstruct the man she knew versus the man he has supposedly become.
Starring: Liz Casasola, Christopher Kromer, Victor Lirio, and David Newer.
All four plays were commissioned by DCT as part of its annual mission to develop plays that revolve around one diversity issue of cultural significance. Launched in December 2005, this season's festival focus is on "gender identity issues of the 21st century."
In describing what the festival offers to today's theater audiences, Maxine Kern, DCT's Festival Director, commented: "Four plays, four voices, envisioning the drama of gender identity in our lives. While the process has been collaborative the plays present widely different and exciting parables for our time."

The Koothandavar Festival of Koovagam, Tamil Nadu, must count among the most bizarre rituals observed in India. Hundreds of transgenders gather here for 18 days in April-May to observe the festival, which has roots in a legend from the Mahabharata. This is the largest gathering of transgenders in the world.
For most of the year, Koovagam is a sleepy village but during the festival, which culminates on Chitra Pournami, it becomes a magnet for transgenders from across the country.

Diverse City Theater Company (DCT) presents "FOUR PLAYS" for the company's Equality Playwrights Festival ("EPF") season from August 11th to August 26th 2006 at Theatre Row's Clurman Theatre in New York City. The Equality Playwrights Festival is the recipient of Disney Foundation's Cast Community Fund Award.
"FOUR PLAYS: The Equality Playwrights Festival" is a presentation of commissioned one-act plays on gender identity:
Robert Askins' absurdist CLEAN LIVING, directed by Steven Ditmyer: Set in an Army barracks, two men Norm and Al try to uncover George's sexuality but Clever George will not tell, and Norm and Al can't ask.
Starring: Stephen Buck, Christopher Kromer, David Newer, and Adam Schneider
Joe Byers' VEILS, directed by Gregory Simmons, explores an American soldier's experience in a war-torn Middle-Eastern country and his first sexual encounter with a local woman.
Starring: Randy Falcon & Natasha Marco
Stuart Harris' ONNA FIELD, directed by Carlos Armesto, is about a top student and resident artist at Sidehill Boys School in West Omaha whose F in gym and concerned gym coach threaten to prevent him from being admitted to a high-ranking design school in Chicago.
Starring: Michael Early & Victor Lirio
Jorshinelle Taleon-Sonza's COLD FLESH, directed by Adam Fitzgerald, follows a newly-emigrated Filipino woman investigating significant people in her late husband's life in America to reconstruct the man she knew versus the man he has supposedly become.
Starring: Liz Casasola, Christopher Kromer, Victor Lirio, and David Newer.
All four plays were commissioned by DCT as part of its annual mission to develop plays that revolve around one diversity issue of cultural significance. Launched in December 2005, this season's festival focus is on "gender identity issues of the 21st century."
In describing what the festival offers to today's theater audiences, Maxine Kern, DCT's Festival Director, commented: "Four plays, four voices, envisioning the drama of gender identity in our lives. While the process has been collaborative the plays present widely different and exciting parables for our time."

Wigstock 2004 in Tompkins Square Park in the East Village of New York City as part of The Howl Festival.
Wigstock started in 1984 , Drag Queens from the Pyramid Club headed over to Tompkins Square Park, including Brian Butterick, Michael "Kitty" Ullman, Wendy Wild, The "Lady" Bunny and a few members of the Fleshtones were horsing around in the bandshell when someone came up with the idea of a day-long drag festival - and calling it Wigstock. It was Lady Bunny went ahead and getting the necessary permits and Wigstock was born. Wigstock moved to Pier 54 after becoming such a large event that it could no longer be held in Tompkins Square Park, in 2004 Wigstock returned to the East Viallge as part of the annual Howl Festival.

NYC Pride March
47 years after the Stonewall Riots of June 28, 1969
The 47th NYC Pride March started at noon on June 26, at 5th Avenue and 36th Street in Manhattan. The route proceeded through Midtown down 5th Avenue, before heading west into Greenwich Village, ending at Christopher and Greenwich Streets.
Heritage of Pride, Inc. (HOP / NYC Pride) is a non-profit organization that plans and produces New York City's official LGBT ( Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride events each year.
Heritage of Pride hosts New York City’s Pride events in commemoration of the Stonewall Riots of 1969.
Stonewall riots happened 47 years ago in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, located in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City.
The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the LGBT community against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the LGBT liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBT equal rights in the United States.
The 2016 Pride March happened on the one-year anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide.
The 2016 march also happened to come just days after Stonewall Inn, the famous gay bar located in Greenwich Village, was designated as the first national LGBT monument in the U.S.
On Monday, June 27th 2016 the Stonewall National Monument (U.S. National Park Service) designation took place in New York City. The monument sits across the street from The Stonewall Inn, a National Historic Landmark known for its involvement in the beginning of the modern struggle for civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) Americans.
Remarks from - President Barack Obama June 2016
"I’m designating the Stonewall National Monument as the newest addition to America’s national parks system. Stonewall will be our first national monument to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights. I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country – the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us. That we are stronger together. That out of many, we are one."
Hillary Clinton made an unannounced appearance and was joined by New York State Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and the Rev. Al Sharpton
NYC Pride 2016 theme, "Equality Needs You"

Cecilia Chung - civil rights leader and activist for LGBT rights
NYC Pride March Director 2016 - Julian Sanjivan
According to organizers, around 30,000 people marched in the parade itself. Law enforcement officials expected that there would be around 2.5 million attendees in total, and that more or less comports with CBS News' reporting, which found that almost 2 million spectators joined the marchers.
NYC Pride is the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that manages and produces New York City's official LGBT Pride celebrations each year in June

Wigstock 2004 in Tompkins Square Park in the East Village of New York City as part of The Howl Festival.
Wigstock started in 1984 , Drag Queens from the Pyramid Club headed over to Tompkins Square Park, including Brian Butterick, Michael "Kitty" Ullman, Wendy Wild, The "Lady" Bunny and a few members of the Fleshtones were horsing around in the bandshell when someone came up with the idea of a day-long drag festival - and calling it Wigstock. It was Lady Bunny went ahead and getting the necessary permits and Wigstock was born. Wigstock moved to Pier 54 after becoming such a large event that it could no longer be held in Tompkins Square Park, in 2004 Wigstock returned to the East Viallge as part of the annual Howl Festival.
