At TOSOS, we embrace our differences. As an LGBTQ+ theater company, we value the diversity of artistic, cultural and life perspectives our artists bring to our stages. As storytellers, we champion the voices that aren’t being heard. As people, we strive toward equality, toward a world where everyone is welcome to the party. Join us!

The Other Side of Silence (TOSOS) is committed to equal opportunity employment and involvement, regardless of culture, ethnicity, race, ancestry, nation of origin, citizenship, languages spoken, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability, religion, education, opinions and beliefs.
