The 7th annual Gay Play Day celebrates the LGBTQ playwrights and community with a great roster of theatre happening September 7 and 8, 2018 at the Alumnae Theatre in Toronto. Two blocks of shows titled PINK and LAVENDER will include 8 plays in total. Each series is made up of 4 short plays — approximately 75 minutes total in running.
