Background

Scope and content:

The Gay Theater Collective was a San Francisco-based theater group that was an ensemble of lesbians and gay men. The collection relates to the 1980 production : Contents Under Pressure, a show that β€œspeaks out with humor and honesty on the important political and social issues of the day and the complexity of life in San Francisco in the 1980s.” The group worked β€œto understand how Lesbians and Gay men can work together creatively, what they have to say to each other about their differences, and what they can say to the world with unity.” The collection includes photographs, play programs and other promotional material, and news clippings.
