THRIVE: Queer Voices, Out Loud is a vivid exploration of true stories from LGBTQIA+ community across rural Victoria, conceived and directed by Cheyney Caddy, co-founder and artistic director of Black Apple, a Castlemaine based theatre company.
A thoughtful and considered theatrical interpretation of interviews conducted by Caddy, who has meticulously carved out a historical and contemporary analysis of six colourful personalities across a generation, reflects on change within an evolving awareness of the LGBTQIA+ community in a contemporary setting.
