The Chutzpah! Festival returns with another exciting and dynamic lineup of  music, theatre, comedy, dance and multimedia arts.  An eagerly anticipated, annual highlight of Vancouver’s arts season, for over two decades the Chutzpah! Festival has been connecting communities and celebrating the vibrancy of its stories.

Sharing their work in person and through select digital streams, artists will return to venues across town including the Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre, Wosk Auditorium, and the Sidney & Gertrude Zack Gallery, the festival hub at the JCC.

The 22nd Annual Chutzpah! Festival will include a special programming highlight brings Jewish and non-Jewish artists of Persian heritage together to explore how these communities have intersected in their artistic expression. The Festival’s new programs for young audiences and families expand with theatre and music events, including special school matinees. With an emphasis on homegrown artists from across Canada, alongside work from Israel, the United States, and the United Kingdom, audiences will have the opportunity to attend in-person performances, or to enjoy select digital events from the comfort of their own homes.
