The film focuses on a Boston-based group of LGBTQ youth of color band together and dare to be 'out' on stage about their lives and their loves. The cast of True Colors: OUT Youth Theater transforms their struggles into performance for
social change. The film's cast members include a
transgender teenager, Alyssa, who is kicked out of her home; a devout
Christian, Chi, who challenges his church's
homophobia; and a genderqueer individual, Ayden, who likes to wear masculine clothing, even as they model dresses on the
runway. After the
Boston Marathon bombs explode yards from their rehearsal space, the troupe becomes even more determined to share their stories of love to help their city heal. ==Production notes==
