The News

The News is a monthly offering of performance featuring new queer work. On the first Tuesday of each month The News casts a spotlight on performance pieces, experiments, debut works, and works in progress by pre-selected solo artists, groups, or troupes. An informal session for critical feedback follows the performances.

“The News is dedicated to providing a consistent venue for exploration, collaboration and the development of new queer work.” – Kolmel WithLove, Creator & Host

Artists of any performance discipline or skill level can perform at The News. Artists interested in performing should fill out this Artist Survey. Questions can be directed to Kolmel WithLove at thenews@somarts.org.

The News takes place on the first Tuesday of each month from 7:30-9pm. Tickets are $5, and advance tickets are recommended as space is limited.

UPCOMING EVENTS

The news is taking a break in July & will return on Tuesday, August 6th!
