Happy Pride Month! 🌈

Did you know it's our birthday, too?

Two years ago today, All Q***r Shakespeare launched as the world's first all-LGBTQ Shakespearean theatre company. Since then we've sold out shows, built lasting collaborations, welcomed thousands of audience members, witnessed proposals, celebrated q***r artistry, and created a community beyond anything we imagined.
If you have been a part of our last two years in any capacity, we thank you!

What's your favorite AQS memory? Share it below and help us celebrate two incredible years. 💜🎭🏳️‍🌈

The perfect Christmas gift just dropped 🎄✨

This holiday season, All Q***r Shakespeare is thrilled to bring you the digital release of our sold-out, award-winning hit:

🌈 THE CHRISTMAS CAROL: A Q***R FANTASIA 🌈

Two-time Zoni Award–winning
✨ Nominated for Best Overall Production
✨ BroadwayWorld Nominee for Best Play 2024

Ebenezer Scrooge is the literal worst — and it’s going to take a lot of fabulosity to turn this ChristMESS into a ChristYAS. Can three otherworldly specters show this humbug the true meaning of Christmas?

Founded by Arizona media personality Monica Sampson, All Q***r Shakespeare is the world’s first all-LGBTQIA+ Shakespearean theatre company, featuring a core ensemble of the Valley’s top q***r artists and dedicated to radically inclusive, high-quality theatre.

Today, we ask our community to stand with us as we continue building something extraordinary: the world’s first all-LGBTQ Shakespearean theatre company, right here in Arizona.

With DEI initiatives being stripped nationwide, LGBTQIA+ arts funding is shrinking fast. But our need and our mission has never been clearer. Your generosity today directly supports q***r actors, q***r stories, and the q***r joy we create onstage.

Most of all, congratulations to our extraordinary cast and crew who poured their artistry, grit, and heart into every performance. This show was a true labor of love, and none of it would have been possible without you. 🌈
