The New Ideas Festival
The New Ideas Festival is a juried, three-week annual festival of new writing, works-in-progress and experimental theatre, with a different program of plays each week, and a staged reading on Saturdays at noon. It runs from March 9 - 26, 2011.
This year’s festival presents 14 new works, ranging in length from 12 to 60 minutes. There’s something for everyone, including comedy and mixed-up relationships, dance, poetry, a trip on the TTC, and a little tea with terror.
