StageQ Announces 2024-2025 Season!

It is time for our annual StageQ 2024-2025 Season Announcement!

𝗔𝗻𝗴𝗿𝘆 𝗙*𝗴𝘀  (November 1st-16th): Bennett is really trying to keep it together right now. He broke up with his boyfriend and moved in with his best friend, Cooper. It’s election season, and he’s the speechwriter for Georgia’s only gay state senator, who’s engaged in a bloody campaign against a conservative darling. Then Bennett’s ex is attacked in the parking lot of a gay bar. Bennett and Cooper are informed that the assault can’t be classified as a hate crime – because in Georgia, hate crimes against homosexuals don’t legally exist. Their frustration and fear eventually turn to rage as they realize “acceptance” simply isn’t enough. They’re still living in a society that relegates them to second-class status. They’re not respected. They’re not feared. It’s time for that to change.

𝗗𝗿. 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲’𝘀 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲  (January 24th-February 8th): An intimate snapshot of queer anti-heroines. On the eve of Dr. Sally Ride’s historic space flight, four women with passionate opinions and no opportunities sit on a sweltering St. Louis rooftop, watching life pass them by.
