Soulpepper’s annual Queer Youth Cabaret is back! On June 20, 21 and 22, twelve selected artists will perform short original solo or duo pieces (narrative-based, movement, music/song, drag, comedy, etc) for live audiences directed by our Academy Graduate Will Dao. Leading up to the final showcase, they will receive writing and performance support from established queer artists. In addition, each artist will receive a $500 honorarium for their participation in the program.
Queer Youth Cabaret is an opportunity for young LGBTQI2S+ artists in the early stages of their career to develop and showcase their artistic voice in a safe and welcoming environment.
