This year’s festival will feature full length productions, “double features” of shorter scares, script readings, interactive installations, a mask-making workshop, and variety performances by both local and international talent including Candy Roberts (Critics Pick: Orlando Fringe Festival), Nancy Boys (Official Selection: LA Westside Comedy Festival), A Little Bit Off (Best of Fest: Saskatoon Fringe), and more.

Welcome to our blog.

Here at Stage Fright, we champion dying media long abandoned by the ruling class. First, theatre. And now, the website. Some call us behind the times. Increasingly, others are calling us prophetic — as the glittering castles of hypercapitalism begin to crumble and burn, we’re over here on the sidelines, producing our little plays and writing our little blogs.

Horror is queer (period). 

Not just in the campy cult classics and high-glam vamps. Not just in the metaphor. Not just in the monsters. Horror has always been queer. It’s woven into the blood-soaked fabric of the genre, lurking in the shadows of repression, transformation, desire, and defiance.
