Intrepid Theatre

We are thrilled to announce the project and the artist for our 2023 OUTstages Residency Program, who will be developing new queer work throughout 2023. They receive a residency fee, studio time, artistic & production mentorship, and a public showing during this season. Stay tuned for more details on this artist, their project and in-development showings of their new work.

For this residency, kai will be drafting and workshopping a new play called my phone keeps autocorrecting ‘enby’ to ‘envy.’ The play explores the sticky tangled beautiful mess of queer and neurodivergent community through the voices of 3 different trans characters. They can’t wait to share it with you!!! <3
