Pride Fest EOIs are Now Open
Running from 1-30 June, Pride Fest offers a month of dazzling works and moving stories that celebrate the astounding talent of the LGBTQIA+ and Ally community.
We are looking for great stories, events and workshops to feature throughout this month – which is where YOU come in. Have a show waiting for the limelight? A story busting to be told? An event you’ve been waiting to host? Or a workshop that you’d love to share with the community?
We want to hear from you! Shows best suited to Pride Fest are:
- Approx. 60 mins in run time (negotiable)
- Showcase the talents of LGBTQIA+ creatives or amplify stories of the community
- Loud, bold, entertaining, dazzling…all the good things
- From all genres – cabaret, drag, comedy, drama, poetry, dance, circus, magic, burlesque, literary events, workshops, panel discussions, podcast recordings and more!
Please share with all the creative and workshop loving folks in your life and please submit your amazing works – we can’t wait to have you on a Qtopia Sydney stage.
