New Ideas Festival

The New Ideas Festival is an annual, three-week, juried festival of new works and works-in-progress.

​Each week features a different program of four short plays performed in the Studio, and a work-shopped reading of a full-length play on each of the three Saturdays performed on the Mainstage.

The chance to see premieres of new dramatic writings from both emerging and experienced theatre artists has made the festival a must-see for Toronto theatregoers for 31 years.
