Queer Youth Cabaret provides young queer artists with a platform to express their identity while acquiring mentorship and learning to guide their artistry. Twelve selected artists from the 2SLGBTQIA+ community will develop and rehearse performances to be presented at Soulpepper on June 24 and 25 during Pride Month.

On June 24 & 25 twelve artists will present short performance pieces inspired by Queer Icons. With a mix of singing, dance, comedy, and live musical performances, the Queer Youth Cabaret will be a Pride celebration like no other!

QUEER ICONS WILL TAKE US ON A COLLECTIVE JOURNEY TO CELEBRATE AND EXPLORE THE HISTORIES AND LEGACIES OF GLOBAL QUEER ICONS OF THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE!

Queer Youth Cabaret is an opportunity for young 2SLGBTQIA+ artists in the early stages of their career to develop and showcase their artistic voices!
