Established in 2013, This Is Not a Play About Sex is a beloved Colgate tradition first written and directed by alumna Poppy Liu ‘13. The script was written based on Poppy’s interviews with Colgate students about how social issues such as sex, gender, race, and sexuality shape the social environment of our campus and many students’ daily lives. Due to the onset of the pandemic, the 2020 production was canceled. The project has consequently been dormant since then, but this year, Director Parna Shakouri is bringing back an edited version of the play to build on the decade-old legacy of student advocacy through theater.

This production is sponsored by the Office of Student Involvement in partnership with Haven, the Women's Studies Program, Counseling and Psychological Services, Dart Colgrove Commons, FSEMs, Hancock Commons, the Inter-Group Dialogue Council, the LGBT Department, and the Office of LGBTQ+ Initiatives. 

Each performance will be followed by a guided community discussion and a catered dinner.

Locations vary by performance -- December 4: Pinchin Lobby.
