this winter to identify participants for the project.

More about the Workshops:
The focus in on performance as a vehicle for personal healing and
empowerment.

Workshops are offered FREE of charge and open to any LGBTQ+ youth between
the ages of 15-21. Those interested in acting, writing, directing and the
use of technology in the arts are encouraged to participate.

These workshops are designed to provide a safe meeting place for LGBTQ+
youth to explore their creativity. Some participants may be selected for
longer-term participation in QuTheatr and offered a modest stipend for
future work in the company.

Over the next two years, QuTheatr ensemble members will train, research,
rehearse and present new theatre pieces based on their personal experiences
and LGBTQ+ life in Akron.

The FIRST workshop will be held at The Balch Street Theatre, 220 South
Balch Street, Akron 44302, on Saturday, February 24th from 2-4pm.

The SECOND workshop will be held at The University of Akron Student Center,
third floor, on Tuesday, March 6th at 7PM on The University of Akron
campus.

QuTheatr is the recipient of a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight
Foundation, as part of its 2017 Akron Knight Arts Challenge. The Knight
Arts Challenge funds the best ideas for engaging and enriching Akron
through the arts.

QuTheatr is being formed as a project of New World Performance Lab (NWPL)
and the Center for Applied Theatre and Active Culture (CATAC). NWPL
co-artistic directors James Slowiak and Jairo Cuesta serve as producers of
the project. The company will evolve under the direction of Coach House
Theatre Artistic Director JT Buck.
