It operates under the umbrella of B4CK and focuses on the same goal - to offer safety to people who don't typically have it. Specifically, The Seed Theatre does this by offering a safe that is LGBTQ+ friendly and Trans affirming. It offers a safe and sober space that allows people from all walks of life to have community and safety, experience art, and share their own voice and perspective. Some of their regular events include live theatre, family nights, game tourneys, sober socials, fundraisers, education, yoga & self-care, support groups, community, and InfoShoppe. All proceeds from Seed Theatre activities go directly back to B4CK and their mission.
