A workshop which focuses on representing your unique, queer experiences for theatre!
About this Event

Which approach to writing queerness for the stage is right for you? How can you write LGBTQ+ characters who simultaneously hold queer identities as a core aspect of their personalities and refuse to be boxed into stereotypes?

Join playwright and theatre producer, Alice K Stephens, for a workshop which focuses on representing your unique, queer experiences for theatre. Whatever your style, from autobiographical realism to camp cabaret, we’ll provide a range of activities for you to find a way of writing queerness which feels authentic to you.

First Thursdays is a free event, but tickets are limited, so please only reserve a place if you’re sure you can attend. If something changes and you’re no longer able to make it, please email as soon as possible — this helps free up your ticket so someone else doesn’t miss out.
