Stage Left Theater Queer Voices Festival

Website

Deadline: April 29, 2026


Our ode to pride Month, we are thrilled to present staged readings of queer-written works presenting by our strong and proud LGBTQIA+ community. Lift every voice. Share every story. Shine together.

Open to Queer and Trans writers.

Accepting monologues, short two or three person plays, and songs. All pieces must run no longer than 5 minutes.

Submissions must be original works.

Join us in celebrating the voices, stories, and creative power of the Queer community.

Each piece will be presented with minimalist design of acting blocks and basic wash of lights. Any additional staging elements would be up to the director of each piece to provide. The festivals at Stage Left live somewhere between a full production and a fully staged reading as the focus will be on the words and not the spectacle.

This opportunity will be limited to 14 pieces.

Selection Notification: May 8th, 2026

Performance Dates: June 4th- 7th, 2026

This is an unpaid opportunity, but all playwrights will be provided with a filmed performance of their piece within a month of the show.
