Telford & Wrekin Council says the show will be the start of a month of celebration and education.
Councillor Kelly Middleton said: “One of the ways we demonstrate our commitment to equality and inclusion is by supporting LGBTQ+ History Month.
"We will be starting the month-long celebration proudly displaying the rainbow flag on all council buildings, and hosting a fabulous show at Telford Theatre.
"There will also be a series of events to support and inform council colleagues about this important month, highlighting the journey for equality for all.”
Stacey Hinton, chair of Telford &Wrekin Council’s LGBTQ+ Network, said “LGBTQ+ History Month shines a light on the beauty of diversity but also the struggles many have gone through to get equality for all.
"The LGBTQ+ Network at Telford & Wrekin Council, encourage colleagues to ask questions and learn more about the history of LGBTQ+ rights and talk openly about their experiences.”
