Abstract

According to a 2021 survey conducted by the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ+ youth suicide prevention organization, 42% of youths surveyed seriously considered suicide. An increasing amount of anti-trans and gay bills have been introduced–the Human Rights Campaign has already tracked 340 in 2023–with the intention to antagonize such populations. These efforts take a toll on young people everyday and my hope is for this play to highlight those experiences. God Saves (Y’)All is an ode to queer people of the past, present, and future as oppression spurs on against them in recycled laws rooted in hate.

As the Florida government casts more oppressive laws on the LGBTQ+ youth, Revere High School’s GSA scrambles to find the perfect coverup–which (un)fortunately falls right into their lap. Claire, a naive young Christian, joins them after school thinking that they are a faith practicing group. Using Claire’s mistake to their advantage, Julia, Hunter, and Daniel must keep up a charade so they may keep their funds and safe haven. However, when they fail their sponsor, Teacher Roberts, gets stuck in the crossfire and the teens begin to question everything.
