Dayton Live’s focus is to strengthen community engagement in the arts through inspiring performances, educational opportunities and world-class venues. Funds will be used to help pay for teaching artists, program supplies, costumes, printing and marketing in support of the Q Theater. Q Theater provides a creative and therapeutic outlet for LGBTQ+ youth and their allies who would benefit from being in an environment where they can be their authentic selves. The program aims to enhance the mental well-being of youth ages 12 to 20 by fostering a sense of belonging and empowering them to use the performing arts as a positive outlet for self-expression.
