Portland’s Triangle Productions founder on 35 seasons of LGTBQ theatre

Donnie Horn started Triangle Productions with an original play he wrote in 1989 that dealt with being a gay man in the midst of the HIV/AIDS crisis. The theatre is now one of the oldest LGTBQ theatres in the country, celebrating its 35th season. The show that’s currently running is another Horn original: a musical he collaborated on with musician Michael Allen Harrison called “JC: Gospel According to an Angel.” Horn is also working on The Umbrella Project, which draws together a wide array of stories focused on Oregon’s LGTBQ history. He joins us to tell us more about that project, the musical he wrote with Harrison and how Triangle Productions has grown over the last 35 years.
