New Ambassadors Theatre Company will plunge into unexplored depths with seven boundary-pushing short plays amplifying LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and marginalized voices.

Artistic Director David Adam Gill, Associate Artistic Director Jennifer Downes, and Managing Director Maile Binion will bring this diverse group of pieces to the stage as the second New Ambassadors Theatre offering of the 2023 season.
