Honest Accomplice Theatre (HAT) will launch its latest work, The Trans Literacy Project, at a benefit event, Make Some Noise!, on September 19 at Sons of Essex.

Hosted by Susan Blackwell, the evening will feature the launch of The Trans Literacy Project as well as a celebrity game night with Broadway stars including Laura Benanti, John Conlee, Andrew Keenan-Bolger, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Andrew Rannells, and more.

The Trans Literacy Project is a video series created by trans artists and advocates with the goal of addressing social issues affecting trans people daily. Filmed by Andrew Keenan-Bolger (Tuck Everlasting), the videos are high quality, fun, accessible, and provide meaningful content for both cis and trans people. After the launch, the videos will be shared for free on social media platforms to spread awareness, understanding, and enhance community.

Founded in 2014 by Maggie Keenan-Bolger and Rachel Sullivan, HAT's mission is to drive individual acceptance among and incite community dialogue about women and trans people by exploring topics that are often silenced, seen as shameful, or portrayed as one-dimensional. The company develops original works which play in New York and tour to college campuses and high schools.
