Events Description
The 2023 Next Stage Theatre Festival will present exciting and expansive digital offerings, including dance, musical theatre, gaming, stand-up comedy, traditional theatre and more. Next Stage welcomes a curious audience who are ready for fun, satirical and challenging shows with themes around identity, aging and desire.
Inspired by the monarch butterfly emerging from its cocoon, heralding the autumn season, Next Stage is back in person for the first time since 2020 at a new time of year and at a new venue. Audiences will enjoy six productions in this exceptionally rich and experimental festival at the historic Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. Next Stage Theatre Festival brings music, movement, levity, and raw emotion from six talented companies who are poised and ready for their next stage.
The 16th Annual Next Stage Lineup will be:
Dance: Black Canadians – Our Stories (Shameka Blake)
Theatre: Bremen Town (Gregory Prest)
Sketch: Dead Parents Society – a dark sketch comedy revue (Shohana Sharmin)
Theatre: ECHO (Kole Durnford)
Musical Theatre: Guildwood (Braeden Soltys)
Theatre: Something in the Water (S.E. Grummett)
