Asia Kate Dillon has joined the producing team for Mack Lawrence's play Waco Boy Club, which is produced by the National Queer Theater. The production is scheduled for a short run at the Brooklyn Art Haus in November 2026.
Why it matters
The collaboration brings together a high-profile performer and the National Queer Theater, which has recently engaged in high-level advocacy through litigation. This partnership highlights the increasing visibility of queer-led theatrical productions in the New York City arts scene.
The production centers on exactly 3 friends gathered in a Central Texas garage. The play is set to stage a three-night engagement at the Brooklyn Art Haus.

Timeline

Waco Boy Club will run from November 19 to November 21, 2026, at Brooklyn Art Haus.
Culture Shift
This project aligns with the National Endowment for the Arts grant eligibility guidelines, following a pattern set by the theater's ongoing legal challenge against the agency. Such productions mark a departure from traditional theater models by integrating explicit social advocacy into the creative process.
Local theater audiences can attend the production at the Brooklyn Art Haus from November 19 through November 21, 2026. This limited engagement provides a specific window for supporters of queer theater to see the work directed by Maya Quetzali Gonzalez.
The takeaway
The addition of prominent talent to independent theater productions continues to drive interest in niche performance spaces. New York City residents interested in contemporary queer narratives should note the limited three-day performance window for this production.
