The Gold Dust Orphans, founded by writer/performer Ryan Landry in 1995, is a diverse group of local legends with an uncommon goal - to provoke, challenge and entertain audiences with low-budget, high-octane original shows, often based on popular or standard works of film, theatre and popular culture. Gold Dust Orphans, Inc. is a 501(c)3 fully incorporated nonprofit. They’ve never accepted a cent from the government. Mostly because the government has never offered.

They are consistently bold, hilarious and inventive. Not to mention "Camp" in the best way.
Hilarious! Energetic! Clever! And that Penny Champayne is glamorous! The best afternoon theatre I've been to in ages.
Drag queens, big laughs, fine comedy - and the ticket price won't kill you. Friendly atmosphere accepts everyone, gay and straight and ?? You'll have a great time.
Hilarious! A professional company providing first-rate shows. Not for prudes, but YOU will love them. See every show - tix are low-cost.
Orphans rule!
Consistently brilliant writing, direction, and acting. The comedies are hilarious, the dramas are moving, and sometimes both are both.
Creative in thought, funny as hell, and clever! Wanna laugh your butt off? Go to see one of his shows.
Have you seen them? C'mon people! You can't get this kind of brilliance AT ANY PRICE in this town...or any other city.
Not only are they the funniest theater group in the Northeast (and perhaps country) but they also put on what I can only describe as the very best theater in Boston too. No other company puts on such consistently hilarious, pointed and brilliantly created work. I never miss a show and no one else should either.
Way beyond your typical drag show , The
Orphans are artists and Ryan is a comic
genius.Theatre at its best.
The shows are creative, inventive, smart and fun. I always know I'll have a good time at an Orphans' show!
Life is full of drama, but not enough comedy....the Orphans always deliver a show that's full of both.
