The New Haven Pride Center is proud to produce LGBTQ+ performance program series in Connecticut.

New Haven Pride Center Commissions

In addition to our performing arts series, the New Haven Pride Center often works with individual artists and arts organizations to commission new works of performance art that are presented as either a part of the Center Cabaret series or as independent performance programs. This commissions reflect on the Center’s desire to foster an environment that tells queer stories and creates works that are reflective of the community.
