HOMO: A Queer Cabaret -Call for submissions

HOMO: A Queer Cabaret
Saturday, December 6th 2025
Metro Studio – 1411 Quadra Street

Calling all queer artists, experimenters, performance makers, poetic dreamers, radical doers, boundary-pushers, and artistic collaborators.

This is an open call for artists for Intrepid Theatre’s HOMO: A Queer Cabaret. This multi-disciplinary cabaret will be programmed with diverse samplings of the inspired, kitschy, simple & sweet, avant-garde, eccentric, and fabulous.

Cabaret submissions. Have a short (10-15 minute) performance piece that is low-tech and fits this show – tell us about it!

All applications are due October 14th at 5pm PST. Not all applications will be programmed in this show. All applicants will be contacted about the status of their application after the submission deadline. 

This is a chance to try out new work, collaborate with new artists, push the form of live performance, or make some wild theatre. All artists programmed will receive an honorarium, a short technical rehearsal in the space, and promotional support from Intrepid Theatre.
