The 23rd Annual Chutzpah! Festival will include our opening and closing night special comedy events, concerts from Klezmer to chamber opera, innovative dance works, theatre, storytelling, films, interdisciplinary projects and interactive multimedia works paired with workshops, stimulating conversations and opportunities to interact with creative artists. 2022 was the inaugural year of the Festival’s expansion of programming for young audiences and families, including special school matinees, which will return this year. With an emphasis on artists from across Canada, the Festival will also present works from Israel, The Netherlands, Japan, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Festival is filled with artistic experiences from around the world, offering work that is joyful, moving, thrilling, and thought-provoking, says Jessica Mann Gutteridge, Artistic Managing Director. “We will explore multiple facets of our stories and history, including how we show resilience in the face of difficult experiences. With opportunities to join together as a community across generations and cultures, participate in dancing, music, and art-making, and connect with internationally acclaimed artists, there is so much to experience for everyone.”
