i don’t have connections, but i did a bit of research about theater in that area when i was pipe-dreaming about interning there last spring. let me know if you want a list of links to theaters i thought were cool in that area (i mean, definition of cool depends on what type of work you’re into, obviously, but still)!

Go through the Norton Anthology of Literary Theory and Criticism, there is a whole section of work like that. Also, you can check out: http://litguide.press.jhu.edu/

Off the top of my head:
Judith Butler, Bodies That Matter
Sandra Gilbert, The Mad Woman in the Attic
Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Epistemology of the Closet
Michel Foucault
