The Chutzpah! Festival Returns During New Late Fall Time Period from October 24 to November 24

The Chutzpah! Festival returns during a new late Fall time period from October 24 to November 24, 2019 with performances at the Norman Rothstein Theatre, Vogue Theatre, Rickshaw Theatre, and The WISE Hall.

Tickets range from $24 to $60 (plus applicable fees and service charges) and are available online at www.chutzpahfestival.com or by phone at 604.257.5145.

Now in its 19th year of celebrating culturally rich works in comedy, music, theatre and dance, the Chutzpah! Festival has established a reputation for presenting Vancouver audiences with new and exciting, critically acclaimed artists from all over the world. This year's Festival will also showcase live music with film, and shines a light on artists from the U.K., Israel, Italy, U.S.A., and Canada.

"I'm overjoyed to be able to showcase such important, illuminating, and multi-disciplinary works at this year's Festival, and proud to have shared so much with Vancouver audiences over these past 15 years as its Artistic Managing Director," says Mary-Louise Albert. "2019 will be my final year with Chutzpah! as I move into a new chapter in my creative and personal journey. After a 20-year career as a professional dancer I could not have landed in a better spot than here at Chutzpah! and the JCC working with so many amazing people - which allowed me the space, generosity, trust, and understanding of my 'no holds bar' approach to work and life - which ultimately resulted in a second career and artistic vision that I am so proud of. I look forward to sharing my last Festival with you!"

The Chutzpah! Festival will also pay tribute to the Jewish Community Centre and celebrate the 25th anniversary of its long-standing and renowned musical theatre summer camp created by Perry Ehrlich. Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance!; present local comedians in a comedy night of Shticks & Giggles; and host multiple workshops and creation residencies.
