Queer Acts

Queer Acts never fails to deliver challenging, nourishing and entertaining theatre. This year's line-up includes three out-of-town shows (including the award-winning Agokwe by 23-year-old Ojibwa playwright/performer Waawaate Fobisteran), as well as local shows being created by Stewart Legere, Mary Fay Coady and Chris Aucoin. Plus, there's a new addition: A queer arts conference called Queer Acts Confab. It will to support the work of local creators by bringing together artists, presenters and producers from diverse artistic disciplines. It will include industry professionals from across the country, and combined with our thriving queer arts community here in Halifax, it's going to be an amazing event. —Kate Watson
