Short and Queer II

The Queer Theatre Festival is the first of it's kind in Newfoundland and Labrador. Debuting as a pop-up show in 2012, the now-annual Queer Theatre Festival coincides with Pride Week and celebrates the talents and stories of LBGT artists, and the contributions that they have given to the arts, culture and history of our province.

Day two, July 20th, is Engine Production's Short & Queer II, the follow up to last years debut festival show. Short & Queer II is a night of five original short plays written by LBGT playwrights and/or have a theme or relevance to the queer community. The shorts this year include The Intervention by Robert Chafe, Two Dudes by Mark White, Adult Children by Liz Solo,  In The Bedroom by Amy Anthony and Secret Learnings by Megan Cole. All pieces are performed and directed by an amazing cast of local actors and directors who will also share teaser readings with audiences of next year's shorts, which include work by playwrights Meghan Greeley, Dave Sullivan, Philip Goodridge, Mitch McGee Herritt and Rory Lambert.
