The inaugural Lavender Hill Cultural District Theatre Festival announces a call for submissions for staged readings of LGBTQ+ themed plays to be presented as part of the 2026 Festival, alongside a bold slate of fully produced works. This groundbreaking festival is dedicated to fearless storytelling, artistic excellence, and amplifying LGBTQ+ voices—past, present, and emerging—through theatre that challenges, illuminates, and endures.
Playwrights are invited to submit completed scripts that center on LGBTQ+ lives, history, identity, resistance, love, and legacy. Selected staged readings will be showcased within the festival’s dynamic programming, offering playwrights meaningful exposure, live audience engagement, and the opportunity to have their work presented in conversation with major full productions anchoring the festival.
The Lavender Hill Cultural District Theatre Festival is more than a performance series—it is a gathering place for artists, audiences, and community, celebrating work that is urgent, human, and unapologetically authentic. We are especially interested in plays that push boundaries, reclaim silenced stories, and spark dialogue long after the curtain falls.
Submission Instructions:
Submission deadline February 28, 2026. Selected playwrights will receive a $100 honorarium.
Join us in shaping a festival that honors LGBTQ+ stories with courage, compassion, and uncompromising artistry—and help launch a new cultural tradition in 2026.
