The Gaysian Theatre Festival

Amount Awarded: $5,000.00

Academic Year: 2024-2025

Implementation: Active, Spring 2025 - Spring 2026

The Gaysian Theatre Festival highlights underrepresented Queer and Asian American talent in our community, organizing a beacon of representation through theatre. With a focus on queer and BIPOC representation in creative industries, this project team will host a two weekend-long festival dedicated to showcasing original and published works of queer and BIPOC playwrights.

"By engaging with multiple communities, we create a holistic approach that breaks down the barriers of what is typically expected from BIPOC and/or queer individuals. Mobilizing more than one community brings an intersectional perspective that liberates once stifling concepts of humanity into one that is more accepting and celebrated." - project lead
