DESCRIPTION

NATIONAL QUEER THEATER

National Queer Theater harnesses the power of live performance to imagine a more just and joyful future. Working alongside social justice movements, we uplift queer community through visionary theater productions and education programs that celebrate free expression in the U.S. and around the world.

CRIMINAL QUEERNESS FESTIVAL

National Queer Theater’s Obie Award-winning Criminal Queerness Festival (CQF) showcases groundbreaking new works written by artists from countries where queerness is criminalized or censored. At a time when authoritarianism is on the rise globally, CQF elevates refugee, asylee, and immigrant queer voices and enriches the cultural fabric of New York City by introducing audiences to bold, original works that challenge Western norms and inspire global change.

SHOW SYNOPSIS

AREA D is an electrifying Arab-pop musical that fuses pop, punk, and electronic sounds with a sharp, heartfelt book to explore the highs and lows of pop stardom, industry gatekeeping, and the chaos of PR misadventures. Centered on a rebellious band seizing the Eurovision global stage, what could possibly go wrong? In a world obsessed with optics, maybe the worst thing you can do is actually speak your mind.
