HARLOT is a new theatre company developing experimental, vicious, and pointedly tacky work from emerging playwrights.

Harlot’s founding company is made up of Ellery Cordes, Zoe Nelms, and Keira Dig.

Harlot’s mission is to provide resources and production opportunities to queer/gender-marginalized artists, with a focus on lesbian playwrights.

Harlot’s past productions include DEAD BITCH, GATE SHUT PANIC, BAD TASTE, and DANSE MACABRE!.
In April of 2025, Harlot premiered ERASE ERASE, a new play by Zoe Nelms, at Grace Exhibition Space.

Harlot just concluded the first series of Plays To Watch Out For, a new work development program. We held an open submission process, selecting 3 finalists and offering them a stipend + week of rehearsal time/space to develop a new play, culiminating in a public reading. This iteration featured Girls! Girls! Girls! by Anike Sonuga (dir. Damayanti Wallace), Little Hugs, Tiny Kisses by Catherine Bloom (dir. Keira Dig), and The Ballad of Joan & Jane by Sarah Groustra (dir. Amina Khelif).
