HEtrICK-MARTIN'S "WAITING"

"POP Arts" stands for "Peers Outreaching Peers through the Arts." This Hetrick-Martin internship uses theater as an instrument to educate youth about safe sex. At the end of the 10 week internship, the youth perform an original script they they created to educate other youths about staying safe.



"Waiting" is a touching play that speaks about all the ways in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) youth are waiting: waiting for love, waiting for acceptance, waiting for happiness and, often, waiting for results.

Each youth comes forward and tells a story through dialogue or song to portray their waiting. Some speak about being cheated on, having their HIV status disclosed to others, eating disorders, suicide, getting tested, learning to love again, and finding hope within a fearful world of homophobia and heartbreak.
