Incoming Festival November 20-29, 2025

A new festival of new theatre with new dates! Incoming is moving to the fall in 2025.

Join us for the third year of Incoming Festival, a festival of brand new works from local and touring artists!

Incoming Festival is the newest festival from Intrepid Theatre, featuring an eclectic and electric programming of brand new work from artists from across the country and right here at home. The 2025 festival features three world premieres from Brendan McLeod (past shows include Brain and Ridge) and local artists J McLaughlin and Kerri Flannigan; new shows from Fringe favourites Joylyn Secunda and Shirley Gnome; a reading of a new solo show from SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) artist Cheyenne Scott (Julia in Children of God); a cabaret tribute to Bollywood; a mime workshop for local artists curious about the art form; and a collaboration with the Victoria Arts Council, Aids Vancouver Island, and Dance Victoria, and Pacific Opera.

With an emphasis on presenting new work and fresh perspectives through collaborations, Incoming Festival will present a daring, thought-provoking and engaging line-up. Join us for something new!

Pay-What-You-Ten $10 Tickets

This year at Incoming Festival, 10% of tickets for most shows will be on-sale for just $10, in an effort to make Incoming more accessible to equity-seeking groups, newcomers, artists & arts workers, and anyone for whom cost is a barrier. We believe the arts have something to offer everyone and we want to reduce financial barriers to our newest festival. No registration, forms to fill out, or questions asked. Just select the PWY10 ticket when booking online.
