This week, a powerful gathering of voices is taking place in the Catskills. The Outrage: A Queer Writers’ Residency has returned to NACL for its second year, offering a week-long creative haven for LGBTQ+ playwrights, screenwriters, and storytellers.
Founded by playwright and Yulan resident C. Julian Jimenez, The Outrage was born from a need to create space where queer writers can write, share, and grow—without having to justify or explain their queerness. It's not just a residency—it's a refuge.
This Saturday night, the public is invited to hear the results: excerpts from new works in progress, shared by a dynamic group of writers.
Julian Jimenez and CQ Quintana discuss the residency’s purpose and the urgent need to uplift queer voices in today’s America.
