Ithaca College

The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen LGBTQ annual film series at Ithaca College will kick off its 2018–19 schedule on Wednesday, Sept. 5, with the documentary “The Year We Thought About Love.” Go behind the scenes of the one of the oldest queer youth theater troupes in America. Together they explore love - romantic, familial, and religious - as they write scripts based on their lives. Free and open to the public, the film will be shown at 6 p.m. in Textor 103.

“The Year We Thought About Love” goes behind the scenes of the Boston-based True Colors: OUT Youth Theater, with the camera slipping into classrooms, kitchens, subways and rehearsal rooms to observe this fearless and endearing troupe. The film introduces a transgender teenager kicked out of her house, a devout Christian challenging his church’s homophobia and a girl who prefers to wear boys’ clothing even as she models dresses on the runway. After the Boston Marathon bombs explode yards from their rehearsal space, the troupe becomes even more determined to share their stories of love to help heal their city.

The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen series is sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for LGBT Education, Outreach, and Services. For more information, visit www.ithaca.edu/sacl/lgbt.
