Leaping Thespians is an award-winning, independent, women's theatre collective that creates original LGBT+ content, and nurtures emerging artists on stage, and behind the scenes. We come together to bring stories of queer lives to anyone who wants to watch. The company debuted in the 1990's in Nelson BC, and has been creating shows in East Vancouver since 2004. Leaping Thespians has written six original full act plays, and has produced sketches, drag acts, variety shows, and a community fashion show. Awards have included Best Production twice in Theatre BC's Zone Festival, plus Best Script, Best Actress, Best Director, Best Set, and the People's Choice Award in various Theatre BC festivals around the province.
