Women At Play(s) 8 at VideoCabaret

Women At Play(s) 8 is a festival of original short one-act plays written, directed, and performed by Canadian women-identifying playwrights, directors, and actors. Women at Play(s) 2026 will take you on a journey from a young woman’s life changing discovery in New York in 1901 (“Daddy’s Girl” by Emma Donoghue) to tough life decisions for contemporary seniors in Vancouver (“Aging in Place” by Barbara Ellison) to a forest where nature and religion collide (“The Mary Tree” by Brenda Kamino). Seven new plays ponder beginnings (“Waiting for Love” by Lindsay Ellis), celebrate achievements (“And The Oscar Goes To…” by Colleen Curran and “The Circle” by Rebecca Singh) and remember survivors (“A Violation of Violets” by Marni Walsh). Surprises, secrets and lies abound in stories that will make you laugh, cry, dream and think.
