25th Annual Chutzpah! Festival

Start: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 8:00PM
End: Sunday, November 23, 2025 10:00PM

The Chutzpah! Festival returns for its 25th anniversary with a mix of festival favourites and new discoveries, in a stellar lineup of performances this November, showcasing music, theatre, comedy, dance, and storytelling presentations by exciting local, national and international artists through a multicultural Jewish lens. For the last 24 years, the Chutzpah! Festival has been a highlight of Greater Vancouver’s arts season, and this November, audiences will see more of the same innovative and entertaining works they’ve come to know and love on the stages of the festival hub, the Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre at the JCC. Other Vancouver venues showcased will be The Post at 750, Vogue Theatre, and The Beaumont Studios. This year’s festival will include comedy that will have you in hysterics, theatre and dance pieces that explore belonging and togetherness, community-engaged storytelling, and a variety of musical offerings. As always, there will be workshops, stimulating conversations, and opportunities to interact with creative artists. With an emphasis on Canadian artists, the Festival will also present artists from Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Latvia, Israel, and the United States.
