We welcome all stories related to queerness but there are a few things to note:

1. Individuals are welcome to apply, but we are encouraging members of the same family or friend group to apply to give us two sides of the same story (eg: what it's like coming out & what it was like to be come out to; adopting as a same sex couple & what it's like to have same-sex parents or a single parent, etc.)

2. Stories this season will need to be G-rated, because this one is open to the kids!

3. Before you apply - make sure you are available for all classes and the showcase date.  

Classes run from 1 - 4 PM for six weeks starting May 4, 2024 (May 4, May 18, May 25, June 1, June 8) at The Crow in Santa Monica. The showcase is on June 14, 2024 at 7 and 9 PM on the Main Stage at The Crow.
