He, as well as Alan Balch and Rebecca Gingrich-Jones deal with directors, play wrights, media, tech, the play selection process, etc. When he is not planning Queer Theatre Festival, which he is one of the founders of, he is directing, working as a theater artist, and producing. He is the Producing Artistic Director of the Doorway Arts Emsemble, which is a theater company that focuses on producing works by local artists. As the Center Arts Intern, I asked him a few questions so that I could get to know him a little better, his motivations for founding QTF, and why three-day event is worth checking out: Devon: Is this your first time working with QTF? If not, what was your previous experience like with QTF? Matthew: I am one of the founding producers of the festival. I thoroughly enjoyed the festival last year. We got to present a diverse collection of GLBTQ plays from local playwrights. D: What do you think of the DC theater scene? More specifically, the queer theater scene? M: We have a very vibrant and diverse theatre scene. One that values new plays and experimentation. As to Queer theatre, there are companies that are doing queer work, but it typically falls into the gay white male category. So there is not a huge diversity in the queer work presented in this city. D: What was the process/criteria that went into selecting the plays for the festival? M: We put out a call for submissions. We reviewed over 120 plays. We had a group of 5 readers who ranked the plays using a numerical system. The producers then used those rankings to curate the festival. D: Why should people go to QTF? Will it be different than last year? M: This year we are presenting fully produced 10 minute plays, last year was just readings. We are in a theatre as opposed to the DC Center office, that is a huge change. We have a great variety of plays that speak to the diversity of the GLBTQ Community.

On Friday, June 14th at 11pm, Judson Lewis will be a returning competitor from last year. He will face another slammer, a slang term for someone who does slam poetry, in the preliminary round of Capturing Fire.

As a poet and performance artist, Lewis has entertained and amused a variety of audiences, such as universities, performance festivals, coffee shops, summer camps, and street corners. While his work is advocacy-oriented, he uses humor to evoke pieces that are innovative and bittersweet. His performances are both passionate and the words he strings together paint a visual to those that listen: "Life's tunnel is before you. You are the light at the end. Cue the tide. Cue the wind. Cue the sun. Cue time. In light, in love. Unravel it...Your back is a kaleidoscope of seasons."

In Lewis' piece, Chick-Fi-Gay: The Quest For The Forbidden Chicken, he talks about, in a verbosely funny and interesting way, about the controversy surrounding Chick-Fil-A's statement against gay marriage. This slam poet brings his gay identity into his performances and also engages the audience by managing to make them laugh about social issues related to his life.

If you want to see more, come to Capturing Fire June 14th-16th. You can take a look at the schedule by clicking here!
