Queer Futures Now: An Alien Play

By and for LGBTQIA2+ young folx

At the heart of the SQUINCH4Families Project is the real life stories of LGBTQIA2S+ youth themselves. HEAL Plus NM partnered with High Desert Playback, a queer-centered, multi-racial company of artists that makes theater for social change. High Desert Playback collected real life stories of LGBTQIA2s+ youth through individual interviews and story circle workshops and wrote a play based on the themes and stories of those queer and trans young New Mexicans.

What resulted was Queer Futures Now, an original play based on the real-life stories of queer and trans+ youth in New Mexico and combines elements of sci-fi, thriller, adventure, and dance party.

For queer and trans young folx and their families

Families want tools to show up for their LGBTQIA2S+ family members.

HEAL Plus NM brings you–family members, and all queer and trans young people, this play Queer Futures Now: An Alien Play.

The play, and the themes in it, are the basis of SQUINCH4families, a community and a learning hub for adults to listen to, learn from, support and cherish our young people.
