Abstract

In this article, we reflect on the way our verbatim theatre script Out at School was paired with Theatre of the Oppressed work in an undergraduate applied theatre class. Through an engagement with the complex lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) families at school, students moved from a response of what Jenny Salisbury calls “startling empathy” to a discussion of the ways they might act to challenge heteronormativity and cis-sexism in school.
