THEATRE GAYS
Whichever performance art style you want, as long as it's queer. Also see my "Do Be a Drag" list for drag specific recs/TBR.

Give me all the recs so I can add them!
My Fair Brady!!
Also Melissa and Green by Alex Gino both have big theater performances, if you're adding MG. :)
Oh and I haven't read it, but I believe The Romantic Tragedies of a Drama King also fits
Thank you for all of these! I hadn't realize Alex Gino had a new theatre kid book!
No problem! Yeah, they released Rick and the Green, but from my recollection Rick doesn't really focus on theater, tho he does go to a comics convention haha 👀🫶
I have read Rick and I believe you are correct
Drama by Raina Telgemeier is a middle grade graphic novel that has gay theater kids!
Yeeeees! Love that one, can't believe I forgot it.
Andrew Keenan-Bolger has a book coming out next year called “Limelight” and from the descriptions it’s kind of giving Rent but make it YA. Love that one of our gay theatre icons is now writing gay theatre books!
Oh, that's delightful! Added!
