OUTstages Festival
Jan 28 – Feb 6, 2027

Thank you for joining us for the 12th OUTstages Festival in 2026! #QueerArt

Stay tuned for artist applications for the 2027 OUTstages Festival coming this Spring.

OUTstages returns to heat up your winter in January and February 2026, with shows from leading queer artists from across the country, alongside local performance-makers, plus a host of free events throughout the festival. There’s theatre, music, drag, cabaret and pop-up events!

The lineup brings together theatrical pieces shaped by the present moment, with artists responding to their own identities and reflecting on the queer history that shaped us through innovative, boundary-pushing storytelling; soaring music; and experimental new performance. Don’t forget to check out ourfree events for artists and audiences, from drag shows to income tax workshops. Check out the calendar, browse the line-up and GET OUT to the theatre!

Join us for a special one-night only show with Ivan Coyote, a fundraiser for Intrepid Theatre, February 13!
