CapitalQ Theatre Festival 2024

Join us for our annual Pride Month celebration when StageQ takes over both Bartell Theatre stages for one weekend to present brand new play readings, 10-minute shorts, and one-act plays by up-and-coming queer playwrights from around the country.

A single festival pass will get you access to one of the Showcases: Chances, Family, Whimsy, or Modern Love. Each Showcase presents 3-4 shows. If you wish to see more than one Showcase, please purchase a Two-Show pass or more. Two and Three Show passes are good for any of the four Showcases (you do not have to see two or three in a row).

Along with FREE workshops and masterclasses where you can learn about all aspects of theatre, we will celebrate Pride the best way we know how: highlighting new, queer voices telling their stories.

Following opening night’s performances, we will be hosting a Drag Bingo event in the Evjue theater. It should begin around 9:00pm. There will be prizes!
