Content Warnings & Age Guidance:

The monologues created as part of Sofa Stories: OUTside aim to shed light on the lived experience of young LGBTQ+ people experiencing homelessness. With this in mind, we understand that some pieces may cause distress or trigger challenging emotions for some of our audience members.

For this reason, this performance is recommended for audiences aged 14 and older. Some monologues include sensitive subject matter including transphobia and homophobia, incarceration, physical and verbal abuse, animal cruelty, domestic violence, thoughts of suicide, and drug use.
