Queer Theatre runs weekly acting classes for LGBTQIA+ people of all experience levels, from seasoned professionals to complete beginners. The classes are led by Andrew Keates, the company's artistic director and founder and an award-winning theatre director.
The sessions work as a queer theatre lab. Participants practise acting and performance skills, play with improvisation games, and work with scripts and devised material that reflects LGBTQIA+ lives. The aim is to build a supportive community of performers.
Students also get access to Queer Theatre's wider programme, including a play reading club, a variety night, workshops, trips and social events. Some students are prepared for the company's OutCast showcases of queer actors and writing, which are attended by industry guests such as agents and casting directors.
