The Queer Horror Festival will showcase five short pieces, written and directed by queer artists in the undergraduate community. The pieces explore various facets of queerness and how queerness intersects with the horror genre on stage.

Directed by Piper Wiley

Moth by Wren Stone
Directed by Arlo Schneider

The Sashaying Dead by Cael Negen
Directed by Tyler Salow

Dear John by Meg Mechelke

Please be advised that these plays contains explicit language, genre-typical depictions of violence and body horror, mild descriptions of gore, discussion of suicide, relationship abuse, domestic violence, transphobia, discussion of sexual assault, and child abuse dysphoria.
