a decidely queer theatre festival

OUTstages returns to heat up your winter this January and February, with shows from leading queer artists from Portland, Vancouver, and Toronto, alongside local performance-makers, plus the return of the Queer Youth Cabaret.

New this year: join us for our Get Into It: idea Series with workshops and pop-up performances woven throughout the festival designed to teach you something new, open up your mind, and keep the party going! There will be late-night cabarets on Fridays and Saturdays with libations and pop-up performances from local queer artists; an opening Cinq à Sept to kick-off the festival and a Happy Hour drag show at The Vicious Poodle; plus free online workshops (drag makeup tutorial and income tax help, anyone?).
