Lambda Project

Background

The Lambda Project was started in 2003 by J.R. Teeter to collect the stories of people from all over the world and from every sexual orientation. These stories, coinciding with the yearly rainbow theme would be interpreted and performed as part of our festival year. Our theme is currently under discussion and an announcement will be made in the coming months. In the meantime please sign up for News@BWT so that you can get the most up to date information on Bread & Water Theatre and our Rainbow Theater Festival.

The Internet Interview

This is the original form used by participants. It offers everyone the opportunity to express simply issues dealing with this years theme with some questions to help you along the way. (Find out more...)

The Letter Writing Campaign

The letter can take a bunch of different forms. Here are a few examples.

There are many issues dealing with our yearly theme in our society today (AIDS/HIV, aging, finding your place in the world, happiness, love, etc.). We ask you to give voice to an issue that speaks to you in the form of a letter. This letter could be directed at anyone -- a family member, friends, the people you work with or go to school with, elected officials, clergy or anyone else that you may feel the need to express your feelings to.

This letter can also be praising or thanking an individual or group who has helped you in a positive way become the person you are today. This letter could be a thank you to a person who stood by you during difficult times and helped you mature and understand yourself, a love letter to a special someone, or a letter of encouragement to someone struggling with life's pitfalls.

And there are many other possibilities. These letters will not be sent to the intended recipient, but rather incorporated into the The Lambda Project. (Find out more...)
