PRAISE FOR NQT
Fatima Maan
Playwright, Criminal Queerness Festival
“It is rare to find such a supportive community of queer individuals who share the same passion to bring queer stories to the forefront. I was overjoyed, humbled and so fortunate to be a part of a festival as ambitious and honest at the Criminal Queerness Festival. I have no doubts that it will continue to thrive on the collective passion of the queer theater community of NYC and beyond”
M.D. Schaffer
Student, Criminal Queerness Studio
“Now that our stories are being threatened with being erased, NQT is one of the greatest leaders who reminds us that our narratives and existences matter.”

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
National Queer Theater acknowledges that our programs are on the ancestral land of the Lenape and Canarsie people. We pay respect to their ancestors and descendants, and especially celebrate our queer and Two Spirit indigenous communities.
EQUITY, DIVERSITY, & INCLUSION
At National Queer Theater, our vision is that we can help cultivate a more just, joyous, and empowered queer community that is celebrated in all corners of society. We are enthusiastic to share our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Commitments with you, and welcome any feedback.
