Intrepid Theatre

As part of our Winter Series we are offering free online programming. This livestream series will be available to view live on our Facebook page, and can be viewed on demand at later dates. Watch performances from James Summer, Eddi Licious, and Joey Bulman & Robert Holliston them HERE.

Matt Stern’s performance can viewed on demand on Instagram HERE.

Raucous cabaret numbers. Fabulous performance art. High camp. Heartfelt music.

Our signature queer cabarets are an audience favourite, and since we can’t pack the Metro Studio for a celebration of queer art in person, we have asked artists from past cabarets to create a livestream series. Join us for one, two or all four performances of this OUTstages After Dark livestream series hosted live on our Facebook and Instagram. Each performance will feature a different artist in a 20-30 minute set broadcast live from The Metro Studio.
