Proud to tell stories & nurture Queer talent.

We are an award-winning, London-based LGBTQ+ theatre and production company; proud to tell LGBTQ+ stories and nurture queer talent.

We create spaces to nurture queer talent of all abilities through weekly acting classes, our monthly queer play reading club, OutCast showcases, social and networking events, parties, trip and we produce and develop queer plays and musicals.
