theatriQ /the-at-rik/

a performing arts youth ensemble for queer & trans creatives

(welcoming ages 13-26)

Over the last 20 years, theatriQ has provided a welcoming environment for young people to grow in confidence, express themselves, and develop as leaders.

Every year theatriQ invites local multidisciplinary artists to serve as mentors and guides for young people. Together, they create and share original work (theatre, visual art, music, etc.) exploring LGBTQA+ themes.

2023-2024 season

This fall (October to December), we are putting on our workshop series to introduce young people to theatriQ. Here, local artists are holding space to learn about, discuss, and connect to a plethora of topics pertaining to theater and performing arts.

In spring (January to May), those that join the theatriQ ensemble will not only collaboratively envision a new production from the ground up, but also translate the collective work from paper to the stage for the world to see! This devising process is supported along the way by local teaching artists.
