Diana Khong is queer Viet playwright, filmmaker, and poet. They are also a mutual aid and popular education organizer in Worcester, Massachusetts. They consider their art and their community work to be spiritually intertwined.

Currently, they are one-half of the queer directorial team behind Last Weekend Productions—with their dear friend and collaborator Linda Denson. Their co-directed short A POEM CALLED LOVE JONES has screened at the Queer Women of Color Film Festival, Melbourne Queer Film Festival, Afrikana Film Festival, MIX Brasil, and more across four continents. Their next film, BAND PRACTICE (recipient of the Panavision New Filmmakers Grant), is a queer coming-of-age romantic comedy following a Black majorette and Viet band geek set to be released in 2026.

As a theatre director, their work includes multiple plays with the Asian American Theater Project and premiering the official debut of the queer rewrite for HEATHERS: THE MUSICAL, crafted in collaboration with composer Lawrence O’Keefe and playwright Kevin Murphy, for Ram’s Head Theatrical Society. Their first full-length play MARY MAGDALENE, DAUGHTER, BOATPERSON was produced by Stanford University’s Asian American Theater Project as their 2022 Spring Mainstage. MARY MAG has been developed in residency with Fresk Ink Theater & Chuang Stage and Holy Cross x The Worcester Cultural Coalition, on-site at the Prior Performing Arts Center in 2025.

Film, theater and organizing are all acts of communion. Diana often considers what a community is: how it breathes, how it betrays itself, how it shifts into something better, stranger, worse. A 2025 Lambda Literary Emerging LGBTQ Voices fellow, 2024 Director’s Lab North labbie, and 2022 fellow at the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, Diana’s work often depicts queer desire and troublemaking amidst an increasingly strange and inhospitable world.
