The QA&P 2025 Season

Help Us Bring Queer Joy, Bold Dance, and Shakes-Queer Magic to the Stage!

DONATE TO QUEER JOY!

🪩 Qabaret: Dance Revolution

We’re kicking off with a boundary-breaking dance cabaret that’s part party, part performance, and all revolution. This isn’t just a show; it’s a celebration of movement, resilience, and queer joy!

⏳ 48 Hour One-Act Festival

For Pride, artists will come together to write, rehearse, and perform original one-act plays in just 48 hours. It’s a wild, spontaneous, and beautifully chaotic show of community and creativity, featuring fresh queer stories!

⛈️ Shakes-Queer: The Tempest

Rounding out the season in fall, we’re queering up one of Shakespeare’s most magical plays. Expect new takes, bold performances, and a touch of queer romance as we bring The Tempest to life with our unique perspective.
