2024-25 SUBSCRIPTION SEASON: A SEASON OF HOPE
August 2024 – June 2025
The GLAAD Media Award-Winning home for live theatre in the Castro announces a new season of new LGBTQ+ works and classics.
August 6, 2024, San Francisco – Theatre Rhinoceros, the longest-running LGBTQIA+ theatre anywhere, will present six mainstage productions this season ranging from brand new plays to Rhino favorites to musical theatre classics. Join us for a season of hope and adventure in the queerest neighborhood anywhere, The Castro.
Against an increasingly chaotic and aching world, The Rhino aims to provide a place where our collective pain can coexist in conversation with each of our personal healing. For us, this is a year of observation, integration, and balance, of listening to our closest collaborators and returning a higher level of support and care to our LGBTQ+ theatre community – from fostering emerging actors and theatremakers, to embracing our longest-time supporters in the lobby at 4229 18th St. We are excited to see everyone back in the theatre!
