What is the Stage Fright Festival? 

Stage Fright is an annual queer horror theatre festival, the first of its kind!

Stage Fright focuses on the many facets of the horror genre, producing work that has wide appeal, is technically impressive, and remains authentic to the voices and perspective of the creators.

We prioritize the audience’s experience, leaning into spectacle while preserving the soul, promising to never be boring.

Our work is created using techniques and styles passed down from ancient times, through the vaudeville era, marrying tradition with the topical.

Through theater we build community.
