Queer Artists & Players

QA&P is an all-volunteer, recreational, art and theatre nonprofit for the queer/trans community in Boston.

We are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Our EIN is 99-4550433!

THANK YOU FOR FUNDING QABARET! BUT THERE IS MORE TO GO!

🎭🌈 In 2025, we’re bringing a season of unapologetically queer art, passion, and community to life—and we need your support to make it happen!

We have three vibrant productions planned, each celebrating LGBTQ+ voices in unique ways:

🪩 Qabaret: Dance Revolution – We’re kicking off with a boundary-breaking dance cabaret that’s part party, part performance, and all revolution. This isn’t just a show; it’s a celebration of movement, resilience, and queer joy!

⏳ 48 Hour One-Act Festival – For Pride, artists will come together to write, rehearse, and perform original one-act plays in just 48 hours. It’s a wild, spontaneous, and beautifully chaotic show of community and creativity, featuring fresh queer stories!

⛈️ Shakes-Queer: The Tempest – Rounding out the season in fall, we’re queering up one of Shakespeare’s most magical plays. Expect new takes, bold performances, and a touch of queer romance as we bring The Tempest to life with our unique perspective.

Donate today and join us in raising the stage for queer art!

Our second goal is an additional $2,000 for the 48-Hour One-Act Festival. $1,100 for rehearsal space and venue rental, and $400 for costumes and props, and $500 for sustenance to get our performers through this endurance experience!

Our first goal was $1,500 for Qabaret: Dance Revolution! $1,000 for rehearsal space and venue rental, and $500 for props, costumes, and promotional materials! You helped us fully fund Qabaret 2025! THANK YOU!

However, to bring ALL these stories to the stage in 2025, we will need to raise at least $5,000 to cover rental costs, production materials, costumes, and everything else that will make these shows a success. Your donation, big or small, will help us create spaces where queer artists and audiences can see themselves, celebrate each other, and bring our stories into the spotlight. 🌟🎉

By contributing, you’re not just supporting theater; you’re championing queer voices and helping us build a thriving, inclusive space. Help us reach our first goal of $1,500 so then we can keep going and fund the entire season. Let’s make magic together in 2025!
