The Trans Literacy Project is a video series created by trans artists and advocates with the goal of addressing social issues affecting trans people daily. Filmed by Andrew Keenan-Bolger, the videos are high quality, fun, accessible, and provide meaningful content for both cis and trans people. After our launch, the videos will be shared for free on social media platforms to spread awareness, understanding and enhance community.

HAT Board of Directors and Advisory Board: Natali de Assis, Judith Bennis, Ellen Burns, Jennifer A. Cleary, Gavin Creel, Peter Houston, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Celia Keenan-Bolger, William Ivey Long, Arlene Levinson, Audra McDonald, Greg Nobile, Jordan Roth, and Jeanine Tesori.

Honest Accomplice Theatre's (HAT) mission is to drive individual acceptance among and incite community dialogue about women and trans people by exploring, topics that are often silenced, seen as shameful, or portrayed as one-dimensional. We develop original works which play in New York and tour to college campuses and high schools (recent tours to Brandeis University, Ithaca College, SUNY Geneseo), as this is where young people can discover and explore new identities yet also experience great isolation.
