Waiting for Marsha: A Queer Activist Play

Step into New York 1969, where a vibrant bar serves as the battleground for Drag Queens and activists, led by the iconic Marsha P. Johnson, fighting for their existence. This moment signifies the beginning of the Stonewall riots—when the queer community globally demanded equal rights. Now, over fifty years later, queer rights are again under siege. In 'Waiting for Marsha', a group of queer activists, guided by Marvan, aims to hijack World Pride 2026 to draw attention to rising harassment and violence against queer individuals. Amidst increasing pressure, Marvan grapples with the dilemma of how far they should go to protect their freedom. This heartfelt performance aims to ignite a new Stonewall moment in the face of growing violence against queer people, echoing Raymi Sambo's serious concerns reflected in the art. Join us for an unforgettable experience and witness a compelling story that transcends boundaries.
