National Queer Theater Inc

The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated performing arts around the world, and has been acutely felt in the New York region.

Supporting this organization provides a unique opportunity to both help revive New York's vibrant LGBTQ performing arts scene as well as support the international queer community.
