DIRTY SECRETS is a smart, gender-bent thriller that pokes fun at brainless gay stereotypes. It’s all about Tom, who shows up at the home of Nick and Shane, a gay couple who live in Manhattan. Tom is depressed because he’s just discovered that his lover of eight years has had sex with another man. Shortly after Tom’s arrival, the truth is revealed, turning the confrontation into a thrilling but dangerous ménage à trois...with many Dirty Secrets exposed!


About Our Company

Alternative Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Founded in 1991.  We are renowned for award-winning LGBT production that engage an audience in a conversation relating to specific feelings and messages reflecting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gender community. We are a community of volunteers. No office or paid staff.  


With the world now immersed in visual and interactive media, the performing arts have perhaps never been more relevant in communication. Dramatic productions can powerfully communicate diversity, faith, compassion, understanding and acceptance across barriers of age, race, orientation, culture, language and prejudice in a way few other mediums can. 


Independent films not only communicates ideas, but also demonstrates them, touching the audience's mind and heart. That is and will always be our mission. 


The Impact

Dirty Secrets has been produced on the stage many times, in major cities, Including Off Broadway in New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. It was also accepted the 2011 New York City Fruit Festival. The natural progression would be to bring this work to film. With that in mind, Alternative Theatre Company depends on support from the community to continue to provide the highest-quality entertainment. The budget of  a first-rate professional independent Film is extraordinarily high, so we depend on our loyal individual and corporate supporters, and our extremely talented volunteers. 


These stalwart members of our theatrical community have made it possible for us to present great Gay and Lesbian themed live theater to our community since 1991. 


Join this wonderful group, and become part of our family here at Alternative Theatre Company. Read below for information about how you can help.


What We Need

Your donations will help us raise the funds for a Director, Actors, Cinematographer, Crew, and for post-production (editing, sound, etc.). In addition, renting rehearsal space and securing two locations filmed entirely in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We've already invested in this project by purchasing an HD 1080p Camera (Panasonic AG-HVX200AP) and additional technical equipment required to produce a high quality independent film. We'll be holding a public reading of the screenplay, inviting other interested investors. 

The balance currently needed is $14,000.00. We are taking steps to raise $7,000.00 on our own and asking you to become a partner by helping us match that $7,000.00. We warmly welcome contributions of any amount. While large donations are certainly very helpful, lots of small contributions can really add up. 

PLEASE NOTE: Once our campaign is finished we will have a special section of the website dedicated to acknowledging our supporters. If you wish to remain anonymous, let us know.
