The Chutzpah! Festival returns with a special spring edition of its signature festival, offering a vibrant lineup of performances this March 19-23, presenting music, theatre, comedy, dance, and family entertainment showcasing exciting international artists through a multicultural Jewish lens. For over two decades the Chutzpah! Festival has been an eagerly anticipated and annual highlight of Greater Vancouver’s arts season, and with this new format, audiences are invited to enjoy festival programming throughout the year. Artists will once again share their work and grace the stages of the Norman & Annette Rothstein Theatre, our festival hub at the JCC, as well as the Vancouver Playhouse. 

The Chutzpah! Plus Spring Edition will include concerts ranging from middle eastern world music to family entertainment, innovative dance work, theatre, and hilarious comedy. In addition, there will be workshops, stimulating conversations, and opportunities to interact with creative artists. 

Chutzpah! Plus will present artists from Canada, Israel, Spain, and the United States.

“The Chutzpah! Festival is delighted to launch our new format,” says Jessica Mann Gutteridge, Artistic Managing Director. “It has been a goal of the festival to bring our mix of diverse, global professional programming to the community throughout the year, and the new Spring Edition is sure to offer something for everyone.”
