UKIAH >> A collaboration of Sonoma County actors and Playwright Dianna L. Grayer presents “Private Lives Private Lies,” an original play about the struggles and joys from the perspective of eight LGBTQ characters.
The show will take place during the weekend of Oct. 22-23 at Ukiah Players Theatre, 1041 Low Gap Road, Ukiah. The play will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday. On Sunday the show will begin at 2 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are available online at Brown Paper Tickets — www.brownpapertickets. com/event/2510068 — and at the door.
“Private Lives Private Lies explores relationship discord, addiction, discrimination, and rejection in the lives of 8 LGBTQ people — the struggles they face and the joy that comes from being authentic and free,” Grayer said. “It is educational, therapeutic, hopeful, and entertaining, and pulls from every emotional realm, including love and laughter.”
Grayer’s motivation for writing this play was to bring LGBTQ relationship dynamics to life while tackling some of the issues behind the masks that everyone wears — gay or straight.
There will be a networking table for people to access resources that can help empower and support those in the LGBTQ community and their allies.
