“An unforgettable salute to Harvey Milkâ€
Frontiers in L.A.

“A funny, tragic, stirring, and uplifting portrait of courage, faith, and dignity.â€
Les Spindle, Backstage
Drawn from over thirty interviews conducted by Patricia Loughrey, Dear Harvey recounts the achievements and vision of the first openly gay man elected to a major public office in the United States.Â
A drag queen, a State Senator, an international gay rights activist, a nineteen-year-old composer… the play weaves these voices and more with the personal and political writings of Harvey Milk to paint a portrait of a leader, and a vision for equality.
Supported by photos from Milk’s friends and family, Dear Harveycelebrates the stories not found in history books: stories of a love that reached beyond fear.
