National Queer Theater presents Criminal Queerness Festival with a staged reading of Courage Rebirth by Muleme Steven.

View the Festival program here.

Across the globe, queer playwrights risk censorship, jail time, and physical danger simply by telling their truth. This Pride, you are invited to honor their bravery and witness new plays from East African LGBTQIA+ writers fighting criminalization through their art. Now in its fourth year, National Queer Theater's Criminal Queerness Festival (CQF) is an international theater festival created in partnership with NYC Pride. By presenting the work of international queer artists alongside activist talks and workshops, CQF aims to uplift the careers of these artists and raise awareness about criminalization. Ugandan LGBTQIA+ advocate Muleme Steven's Courage Rebirth follows the story of a gay 21-year-old Somali woman displaced by political unrest.
