History

Established in 1992.

In 1992 Steve J. Earle, Michael Gooding and Marcus Miller got together to produce a three night run of one-​act plays we called Safe Sex based on Harvey Fierstein’s trilogy. Harvey gave us special permission to add Forget Him, which he had never let anyone else produce. The objective was to raise money for the aids crisis, which after 10 years of incubation in big cities, was then reaching serious proportions and looming large in the consciousness of Richmond. Thus was born Richmond Triangle Players. When we formed the company, Jacqui Singleton, local playwright, director, actor and musician, joined the board. John Knapp joined us to direct Vampire Lesbians of Sodom and Sleeping Beauty or Coma, and now serves as Vice President and Artistic Director.
