TEEN TROUPE
for lgbtqia+ teens 12-17
& their allies
Theatre Connect's Teen Troupe offers a vibrant and inclusive community for LGBTQIA+ teens and their allies, ages 12 to 17. We provide a safe space for teens to express themselves freely without fear or judgment by teaming up theatre professionals with mental health professionals.

WHAT IS TEEN TROUPE?
Improvisation
At Theatre Connect, we lean into the “three rules of improv” to stay in the moment, lift each other up, and say “yes, and!” It’s about sparking creativity, building connections, and having fun.
Storytelling
Our partners at the Hippodrome Theatre and Flow Space work with us on-stage and behind the scenes to help our teens tell their stories.
Holistic Support
The Gainesville Community Counseling Center, provides LGBTQIA+ mental health support through affirming stage counselors.
Grow your creative confidence
Creative activities offer joy, growth, and connection at any stage in life. Our Teen, Young Adult, and Community Troupes help build social skills, adaptability, and resilience.
Build your creative community
Our inclusive program provides a supportive space for the entire queer community, fostering collaboration and friendships that flourish through authenticity and expression.
