OUTabout
OUTabout is an independent collective of local LGBT people and also people from the wider community with an interest in the arts and performance. Our shows proved to be popular events raising much needed funds for our chosen charity; Kernow Positive Support.
Do you sing, dance, do stand-up or performance poetry? if so then OUTabout needs you!
OUTabout are currently looking for performers from the LGBT community and the wider community too to join our performers and team to perform in a Cabaret Benefit fundraiser show for KPS in Penzance to be staged a week before Cornwall Pride. Venue to be announced.
Come and meet us with your ideas, we meet every Sunday at The Lamp and Whistle (see advert left).
NEWS
Please read and visit the link below.
Did you know that right now in Iraq, religious fanatics and extremist militias are targeting and killing young people who belong to an "emo" subculture. Their crime? Looking, acting or dressing "differently" or being "perceived" as gay.
Independent news outlets and human rights groups are reporting that 40 to 90 Iraqis -- including teenagers as young as 15 -- have been brutally murdered in the last two months. And right now the Iraqi government is doing nothing.
The best chance to stop these killings is to draw major international attention that will force the government to act. I just signed a call asking world leaders to speak up. Please add your voice and sign as well. Together we can force this story onto front pages around the world, pressuring the United Nations and other world leaders to act.

OUR LAST PRODUCTION:
The Book of Mirrors
OUTabout presented the debut of Katie Bainbridge, performing works from her last two books. The evening was well attended by the LGBT community and also the wider community too; with many coming to see a performance poet for the first time.
What the audience said:
'Thought provoking, well performed'
'Poetry is not really my thing, but I could identify with much that Katie said'
'Very powerful!'
