Queer Theatre Company is a brand new theatre collective dedicated to amplifying the voices of queer disabled creatives and allies through the performing arts in a dynamic, inclusive, and provocative environment that celebrates and preserves our unique culture, while contributing to an environment of diversity and inclusion throughout the broader community.
There are no other performance companies dedicated to the unique intersection of queer and disabled communities. 35% of people in the LGBTQ+ community are disabled. We face unique challenges in finding spaces that welcome us and art that represents us. We hope that by dramatically reimagining beloved works with innovative casting and using our expertise to create accessible theatre experiences, we can amplify voices that have traditionally been left out of the theatre world and usher in a new generation of marginalized theatre artists in the Greater Boston area.
Getting a theatre company up and running from scratch is no small (or inexpensive!) feat. That is why we're asking for YOUR support in fundraising for our first season! Here's the budget breakdown of our $10,000 goal.
