Actors rehearse for StageQ's CapitalQ Theatre Festival, 2023.
The CapitalQ Theatre Festival debuted in 2022 as a new incarnation of StageQ’s long-running Queer Shorts production. This year features four showcases, with the themes “Family in all Forms,” “Lesbian Power Hour,” “Teen Spirit” and “We Are Who We Are,” each performed twice during the weekend, with showtimes at 7:30 p.m. Friday, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday. Free master classes take place at noon on Saturday and Sunday. Find a schedule and updates at stageq.org.
media release: Join us for our annual Pride Month celebration when StageQ takes over both Bartell Theatre stages for one weekend to present brand new play readings, 10-minute shorts, and one-act plays by up-and-coming queer playwrights from around the country. Along with FREE workshops and masterclasses where you can learn about all aspects of theater, we will celebrate Pride the best way we know how: highlighting new, queer voices telling their stories.
ALL MASTERCLASSES & WORKSHOPS ARE FREE! NO TICKET NEEDED.
