26-27 Season
The future of Queer theatre is here. These six plays refuse to look away from our world today, and give us what we need to survive it. Joyful warnings. Camp as resistance. Stories that insist queerness isn’t representation — it’s survival. This is theatre that reminds us why we’re worth fighting for.
