Welcome to the Archive Version of the online On the Purple Circuit, which ran from 2000-2021. Bill Kaiser founded the Circuit as a newsletter in 1991, and, in 2000, Demian joined as co-editor. Demian programmed the site, expanded the scope of the Circuit, as well as retouched all the images.

Demian needed to stop working on the Purple Circuit in order to realize his other projects, such as publishing the book “Operating Manual for Same-Sex Couples: Navigating the rules, rites & rights,” now available on Amazon, and to publishing his “Photo Stories by Demian” books based on his more than 6 decades as a photographer and writer.

QueerWise and Michael Kearns have committed to offering a continuation of the Purple Circuit. The new Web address is purplecircuit.org. Bill Kaiser continues as editor and can be reached at purplecir@aol.com

Bill and Demian express their appreciation for the hundreds of writers, directors, actors, and publicists who sent their articles and play data. They have toiled mightily to bring our gay, lesbian, trans, and feminist culture into public view, and appreciation.

On the
Purple Circuit

The Purple Circuit promotes GLQBT

Purple Circuit Theater Directory - 2014
Gay/Lesbian/Feminist-Supportive Theater Companies
2012 - with updates through 2014
The Purple Circuit lists gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or “queer” theater and performance events, as well as “Kindred Spirit” organizations that produce such work. Our directory indicates which venues accept scripts, sponsor visiting performers, and which have specific criteria for submissions. Most venues have volunteer, or small reading staff, so replies may take a long time. In many cases, an exploratory letter with synopsis may be preferred rather than sending full scripts.

Past Directories are located in our Archive.

We propose a definition of queerness that serves as a metaphor for all those who stand outside of, challenge, or reject mainstream consumer-based models of gender or sexuality. This is the community for whom we make our work, gay and straight. Since 2004, our productions have attempted to straddle categories often set in opposition to each other: accessible and experimental; gay and straight; pleasing and provoking; popular and alternative. We search for the connections between queer experience and issues of the broader culture. We draw from our rich theatrical and literary heritage to inspire exciting new work. We are committed to creating theatrical events that confront political concerns and that have social impact and moral consequence. No scripts or synopses accepted. No visiting artists.
