StageQ is a volunteer-led, community theater company dedicated to celebrating and advancing LGBTQ+ representation by producing plays and musicals by queer artists. Since 2001, StageQ has produced sell-out shows that challenge perceptions and champion diversity through lavish musicals, intimate dramas, or their long-running Pride Month short play festivals.

StageQ is a founding member of the National Queer Theatre Alliance and is a resident of the Bartell Community Theatre located just a block away from the Wisconsin State Capitol. StageQ is dedicated to providing a safe space for queer and allied artists, promoting and celebrating the Madison LGBTQ+ community, and providing a platform where queer people of all ages can see their stories told on stage.
