ABOUT US: Founded in 2020, The Strides Collective produces works of theatre by queer artists, about queer stories, and for all audiences with the goal of normalizing the conversation about queer identity, creating a safe haven for emerging artists to tell their stories and giving them the ability to express themselves freely without fear of judgment. Over the last two years, we’ve made the best of circumstances and produced both online and in-person in order to provide accessible, affordable, and safe theatre for all audiences. During the online era of 2020 and 2021, our digital productions, Ignite and The Diamond Peak Studio Sessions, reached a collective 300 people in 9 countries and gave us the opportunity to create with artists nationwide while working from home. 2022 and the return to in-person theatre brought about the pigeon., our first full-scale production, which we shared with over 300 patrons in the historic Christ Church Neighborhood House. In addition to our mainstage productions, we’ve produced three rounds of our Emerging Playwrights Program, providing dramaturgical support and a workshopping space and team to develop new works for 10 talented writers.

We deeply value our members' time and passion; as a Collective, we all assist each other to create a safe and healthy working environment. We recognize that the requirements of this opportunity may not be a fit for everyone. We will provide at least a $200 stipend before the end of 2023, and as we continue to grow, we look to create more stable financial compensation.
