Black Cat Theatre

Throughout history, crossing paths with a black cat has symbolized different things: good luck, bad luck, prosperity, harbingers of misfortune, witchcraft, weather predictions—the list goes on and all depends on your context, culture, mythology, and location. Similarly, the reception of and attitudes around queerness have varied greatly throughout history, culture, and context.

At Black Cat Theatre, we are reclaiming both black cats and queerness: we cross paths with theatre by queering it. We focus on:

• queer stories and playwrights
• queering casting and relationships on stage
• queering form by playing with language that is heightened, poetic, or otherwise pushes bounds of traditional theatrical structure

Make your own luck. Choose your own destiny. Defy superstition. What does theatre mean to you? We invite you to cross paths with us and find out.
