A book of queer ideas, queer questions, and queer inspiration.

Out On Stage provides hands-on advice and guidance on all aspects of creating and staging your own piece of queer theatre, including:

  • Identifying the queer story you want to tell, generating your material, and developing your own voice as a queer theatremaker

  • Choosing the best form to express your ideas, from a scripted drama or solo show to musical theatre, cabaret, or live art

  • Deciding on your creative approach, whether it's writing an original play, devising, adapting the lived experiences of yourself or others, or queering existing material

  • Considering key aspects of queer performance, including drag, alter egos, solo performance, and using the body to tell queer stories and express queer identity

  • Putting your show on, from securing a venue and applying for funding, to working with a producer, building partnerships, and attracting an audience

  • Overcoming the challenges you'll face, being brave, and tapping into queer theatre's power as a catalyst for change

It's packed with inspiring examples drawn from the vast span of queer theatre-from coming-out stories, lesbian dramas, and plays about trans identity, to autobiographical pieces and hidden queer histories-as well as creative activities to help you put your ideas into practice.
