QUEER as F*CK

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

DEADLINE: MARCH 11

 

 

Message from producer:

 

Bombs and Band-aids: Stories of Queer Resilience.


The next edition of QUEER as F*CK (QAF) is dedicated to stories that explore both the political and personal aspects of Queer resistance. We will present works that question and celebrate what it means to be Queer during a time when bigotry is emboldened by policies that cut down our community. Theatre is a tool of liberation, according to Augusto Boal, founder of Theatre of the Oppressed. This project demonstrates what happens when we as Queer artists of color arm ourselves with the stage.


We seek short plays (20 pages or less), monologues, short films, and mini documentaries from Queer artists of color and allies. We are proud to partner with Bindlestiff Studio and the Queer Cultural Center, and will be a part of the 2018 National Queer Arts Festival.


For consideration, please email your work to:

queerasfckfest@gmail.com


Deadline to submit is Sunday March 11, 2018.

THE GEEK SHOW 2: BINDLECON
TICKETS ONSALE NOW!
 

 

 

After a successful first run last year,  “The Geek Show” is back!

 

Conceived by producers Thomas Paras and Marc Abrigo, “The Geek Show” is both a love letter and a critique on contemporary geek culture. From comedy sketches to dramatic pieces, the multi-genre theatre production brings together the passionate, the ostracized, and the awkward in celebration of everything under the umbrella of geekdom.

 

This upcoming iteration of “The Geek Show” will be a little different, for all the stories presented will be set entirely within a convention. The roof is ripped off of a convention center, as interconnected stories emerge from this one day at the geek fest that is BindleCon. From the story of a first-time con-goer, to a showdown of seasoned geek parents, and the exciting life as a rover a la “Law and Order,” expect for ground of a different kind to be covered, all the while staying true to exploring the life and journey of geeks everywhere.

 

“The Geek Show 2: BindleCon”

April 12-28, Thursday - Saturday, 8pm

$15 Student/Senior

$20 General

$25 Support-the-Artists
