Proud Theater

Proud Theater is an award-winning, exciting and innovative youth program designed to foster self-expression and self-empowerment for Madison-area youth. Proud Theater was founded in 1999 by Sol Kelley-Jones and Callen Harty and is currently aligned with Outreach, Inc - Madison's LGBTQ resource center. Proud theater is open to any youth who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or queer/questioning (GLBTQ), or who are the sons or daughters of GLBTQ parents, or allies of the LGBTQ community at large.

The teens of Proud Theater collaboratively create all the plays and theatrical pieces themselves, with guidance from Proud Theater Artistic Director Brian Wild and prominent adult members of the Madison community including Technical Director Gray Miller, Callen Harty - Local Playwright and Artistic Director of Broom Street Theater, Cris Derrick - the 2006 Outreach "Volunteer of the Year" recipient and Outreach Liaison, local playwright/actor Heather Renken, and LGBTQ activists Sunshine Jones, Julie James and Lois Stauber.
