by Lenelle Moïse

The Theater Offensive is proud to present the off-Broadway hit, Expatriate, an explosive and funny new play composed, written, and performed by Lenelle Moïse. When two best friends bolt from their lives in Boston to create their American Dream in Paris, they encounter fabulous success, degrading dangers, and ghosts of their own pasts.

Mission: 

 

The Theater Offensive’s mission is to form and present the diverse realities of queer lives in art so bold it breaks through personal isolation and political orthodoxy to help build an honest, progressive community.

PHILOSOPHY

Our work provokes vibrant discussion about the realities of being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. Through social gatherings, soirees, workshops, and post-show discussions, the organization transcends traditional theater boundaries and opens new avenues of understanding, awareness and inclusion within queer communities as well as outside of them.
