PRISM: A FESTIVAL OF NEW QUEER MUSICALS
The PRISM Festival of New Queer Musicals is an innovative platform dedicated to celebrating and nurturing emerging Queer theater talent. Housed in the historic walls of Judson Memorial Church in Greenwich Village and the "essential experimental venue for compelling, new, high-quality work," The Brick Theater in Williamsburg, this unique theatrical event ignites the stage with fresh perspectives and electrifying premiere performances. Dedicated to amplifying the voices of emerging Queer theater artists, the festival invites audiences to witness the birth of four audacious new musicals annually. At its essence, the PRISM Festival celebrates the transformative power of Queer artists and the musical theater form. Much like a prism dispersing light into a spectrum of hues, Queer artists imbue the stage with a kaleidoscope of perspectives, creating a mosaic of stories that reflect the richness and depth of human experience.
