Out at School​, is a multimedia verbatim theatre piece based on interviews with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) families about their experiences in Ontario elementary and secondary schools.  The 2019 Pride performances included 22 scenes of verbatim monologues and dialogues, a set of visual images to accompany the scenes, and three original songs which drew upon the words of the people who were interviewed.  

Reviewer Neeharika Hemrajani from The Varsity  attended one of the Toronto Pride 2019 performances last June and commented, "What really fascinated me was how this play was a product of the intersection between scholarship and creativity: a product of Goldstein’s own academic pursuits but expressed in a way that is easily digestible by anybody."  Read her review at:  https://thevarsity.ca/2019/06/30/what-it-means-to-be-out-at-school/
