Queer Youth Project

The Queer Youth Project is a mentorship and development program for 3-5 queer youth artists between the ages of 16-23, and happens alongside our OUTstages Queer Theatre Festival. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to develop a short performance piece in the genre of their choosing, with mentorship provided by Intrepid Theatre, studio time for performance development, networking opportunities during that year’s OUTstages Festival, and a showcase during OUTstages. This is a paid opportunity for young queer artists, with the goal to support the creation of new work in our local queer community while providing development support for young artists.
