A first-of-its-kind new play development model & virtual reading series.
Zee Zee has identified a gap that exists in the Canadian theatre ecology. Time and again they saw a lack of queer and trans plays being produced on stages across Canada. What started as a four year hunt for their own programming purposes led to country-wide conversations with many other artists and producers who all share the view that as curators, producers and presenters of theatrical seasons it is a challenge to find queer and trans focused work.
To rectify this Zee Zee has established this new model for play creation and dissemination, in order to ensure more equitable representation of 2SLGBTQ+ artists and stories on Canadian stages, as well as strengthen and deepen the bonds of professional artists and collaborators across the country, while ultimately furthering equality for all queer and trans people.
Join us in celebration of the culmination of this 10 month project with readings happening both live and virtually across the country throughout the fall.

Each play will be workshopped and receive a live reading in one of five partner theatres across Canada.
In-person tickets available through each local venue.
Live stream access for all readings is available by becoming a member of RE/PLAY – The Cultch’s digital playground
