Trent Clifford, with everything that he writes, seeks to explore the boundaries of the human experience. Issues of identity, resilience, sex, and faith. In short, he believes playwriting is a place to conversate about subjects that aren't typically welcome at the dinner table.

As a gay man who is a survivor of domestic violence, he brings a unique voice that specifically seeks to center the queer experience. His desire is to tell real stories about real people, bridging the gap between those who many consider 'other.'

Theatre ought to challenge both performers and audience members. It is an art form intended to confront society head-on, and it is important to Trent, then, that he continually pushes himself to write fearlessly.
