Learn and Perform in QUEER STORIES

We are currently seeking individuals ages 14-70+ who identify as a member of the LGBTQIA community. This exciting program, called QUEER STORIES, is completely FREE and aims to provide a unique opportunity for individuals to share their personal stories based on their lived experiences as part of the queer community in the DMV area. Participants will join a diverse group of individuals to delve into the intersection of queer experiences across generations. Our goal is to create an original theatre production that will debut at Atlas Performing Arts Center’s Sprenger Theatre in June.

We welcome people of all gender identities and sexualities to participate in this program, as we will weave together each participant’s individual experiences to create a collective and original performance. In collaboration with Mosaic Theater, Theatre Lab Life Stories instructors will guide and work closely with the students throughout the 5-week program to craft a powerful and engaging production that amplifies the unique voices of each individual. The final performance will be showcased ahead of a performance of Mosaic Theater’s one in two at Atlas Performing Arts Center on Saturday, June 17, 2023.

This class is recommended for people interested in exploring artistic self-expression. This is a fun and lively process; open to seasoned performers as well as those who have no previous acting experience. Please note that participants are expected to commit to the entire 5-week program. Classes will be held at the Theatre Lab in downtown DC on Tuesdays (6-9 PM) and Wednesday (5:30-7 PM) starting Wednesday, May 17.

Schedule: Tuesdays (6-9 PM) and Wednesdays (5:30-7 PM).
