The Chutzpah! Festival returns with a vibrant lineup of performances until November 10 — presenting music, theatre, comedy, dance, and multimedia arts showcasing exciting international artists through a multicultural Jewish lens.
For more than two decades the Chutzpah! Festival has been an eagerly anticipated and annual highlight of Greater Vancouver’s arts season. Artists will once again share their work and grace the stages of the Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre, our festival hub at the JCC, as well as Vancouver venues the Scotiabank Dance Centre and The Pearl. Single tickets and ChutzPacks are available online at www.chutzpahfestival.com or by phone at 604.257.5145.
The 24th Annual Chutzpah! Festival includes concerts ranging from Klezmer to cabaret to roots music, innovative dance work, theatre, community-engaged storytelling, and hilarious comedy. In addition, there will be workshops, stimulating conversations, and opportunities to interact with creative artists.
With an emphasis on artists from across Canada, the Festival also presents artists from Ukraine, Austria, Israel, Germany, Australia, the UK, and the United States.
“Our Chutzpah! Festival team eagerly awaits welcoming audiences to take part in our shows and events,” says Jessica Mann Gutteridge, Artistic Managing Director. “Strengthening our community’s bonds through shared arts experience has been the central aim of Chutzpah! for over 20 years, and we are thrilled to present a diverse range of artists sharing their unique perspectives and talents. Taking place over ten days this November, Chutzpah! has carefully curated a lineup that exemplifies the range of Jewish artistic expression from across the world.”
