OUTstages Festival, hosted by Intrepid Theatre, is bringing the heat to Victoria for the 11th year this winter with a vibrant showcase of leading queer artists from around the world. 

From January 29th to February 7th, enjoy an eclectic mix of performances—ranging from theatre and music to drag, cabaret, and pop-up events—at both Intrepid Studio and Metro Studio.

These performances reflect the artists’ personal journeys and explore the queer history that has shaped their work. 

Alongside the main performances, the festival also offers exciting free events, including the Campy Hour Drag Show on February 3rd at 6 p.m.

New this year, Intrepid Theatre has partnered with Dine Around and Stay In Town, making it easier than ever to pair a delicious meal alongside a fabulous night of theatre.

Festivalgoers can get a Three-Show Festival Pass, perfect for sharing with friends or enjoying multiple performances solo.

For theatre lovers under 25 years old, the Youth OUTreach Ticket Program offers free tickets to experience the festival—simply select the Youth OUTreach option when booking. No sign-up required!
