Producing works that center on the queer experience
We are now casting for PrideArt’s 2025 Queery Festival winner windows by Matt Schutz, directed by Taylor Pasche.
Olivia is a former soccer player still recovering from a career-ending injury. Her girlfriend, Natalie, is stuck in a job she’s not passionate about, caught between finding her own happiness and caring for Olivia’s. Meanwhile, Natalie’s roommate Clay is trying to take the next step in his life – towards a new promotion, away from a past relationship, and into his own power. As all three maneuver through the ever-present reality of Olivia’s injury, they find escape however they can.

Character Type/Restrictions:
OLIVIA - f, 20s. A former soccer player recovering from a career-ending injury. A comical cynic. She had a single path in life figured out, and she cannot for the life of her figure out how to switch to a different one. Her humor got darker and dryer as her excitement for her soccer career vanished.
NATALIE - f, 20s. Thinks she's best in a crisis, but that's probably just the anxiety talking. If there's not a problem to fix, what is she going to do with her time? She means well, and everyone loves her for it.
CLAY - m, 20s. Would probably be a pretty affable guy, if he could get any part of his life sorted out. Aggressively optimistic. Has never considered that some of his problems need to be addressed rather than powered through.
ACTOR 1 - A collection of characters varying from tender and sweet, through goofy, to downright abusive.
ACTOR 2 - A collection of characters varying from sultry, through heart breakingly inspiring, to overbearingly cheerful.
