This is Our Story: A Coming Out Anthology examines and
celebrates the experiences of LGBTQ+ people of diverse
backgrounds before, during, and after coming out.
Through the lens of real stories submitted by real people,
playwrights Nicholas J. Clarey and Tommy Jamerson craft
a series of vignettes, told through monologues, scenes,
poems, and songs, to bring these stories, struggles,
celebrations, and triumphs to life on the stage.
This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.
