National Queer Theater, in partnership with The Dramatists Guild of America, is proud to present Jubilee for a New Vision: A Celebration of Trans and Gender Non-conforming Artists as part of Carnegie Hall’s citywide 2022 Afrofuturism Festival.

Admission is pay-what-you-can and the performance will run approximately 70 minutes, with no intermission.

Join the artistic residents of the New Visions Fellowship, a new initiative of National Queer Theater and The Dramatists Guild of America, as they showcase excerpts from new works amplifying the TGNC experience in scene, song, and performance. This event features exclusive new work by inaugural New Visions Fellows Ayla Xuan Chi Sullivan (they/them) and Nick Hadikwa Mwaluko (he/they), New Visions Fellowship Mentor Roger Q. Mason (they/them), and some special guests.

Trans and gender non-conforming playwrights, librettists, and performers are living out loud and daring to write it down. Through their art, they envision Black Futures which transform systemic invisibility into fonts of joy, community, and infinite imagination. The Black Trans and Gender-nonconforming playwrights making work in America are at the forefront of Afrofuturism. They’ve had to make a way out of no way and still hold their heads high while striving.
