National Queer Theater is showcasing queer and trans artists from countries that criminalize or censor LGBTQ+ communities during the Criminal Queerness Festival, running June 21-29. This event, an official event of NYC Pride, is taking place at the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) in Lower Manhattan for the first time.
The shows are pay-what-you-wish, and this year's lineup features productions of Achiro P. Olwoch’s The Survival, Raphaël Amahl Khouri’s She He Me, and Nick Hadikwa Mwaluko’s Waafrika 123: A Queerly Scripted Tragic Rise to African Fantasia. Check out the schedule and buy tickets here.
