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 12-23, 2025, 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.

The 25th Annual Chutzpah! 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. “This Chutzpah! Festival is one of collaboration and celebration, combining past Artistic Managing Director Jessica Gutteridge’s vision and my own,” says the new Artistic Managing Director, Shayna Goldberg.

“Chutzpah!’s legacy over the last 25 years has been to share the diverse work from a multitude of Jewish perspectives, and the offerings this year are just as thrilling and exciting as any other. For ten days this November, come and experience the best of what Canadian and international artists have to offer.”

Most single tickets are Pay What You Will.
