That Damn Horse: The Stories of Gay Rodeo

Reservations requiredDrawn from over 60 interviews in the Gay Rodeo Oral History Project, (housed in the Autry archives) That Damn Horse weaves together the many voices who represent the diversity of gay rodeo, from old timers to newcomers and across gender and sexual identities. By bringing together imagination and fact through verbatim theater, the playwrights hope to combine gay rodeoers' broader individual experiences to capture a message about joy, survival and family.
