Three episodes of The Q Creative Network's Canadian & Atlantic Q Music podcast, Out Loud have just dropped with OutFest interviews.
OutFest is the largest Queer Theatre Festival in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada. The 2026 festival features theatrical performances including Zoe Comeau’s award-winning show, “F*cking Trans Women,” as the Main Stage production, youth improv in partnership with the MacPhee Centre and drag performances from Beef Patti and Colin Sick. Dear Good Dear and Averi Chandler take over the closing night music stage and Cindy Rivers headlines the comedy stage. Audiences can expect bold and funny performances throughout the week!

Michelle Blight & Elm Reyes
Part of the Emerging Stage presentation at OutFest 2026, Camp Menses is a theatre and Clown show that follows a pair of tweens at an overnight summer camp, trying to cope with the traumatic experience of puberty and the early stages of menstruation.
During a late-night campfire, they find themselves overtaken by nature, by each other, and by the moon cycles – in every sense of the term. Prepare for a fantastic conversation that will make you howl!
