Brave New Works



GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY

New Scripts. Out Loud. 

The Brave New Works Festival is Theatre Aquarius’ annual new works showcase, dedicated to championing new Canadian plays. Selected works receive dramaturgical support, a professional reading, and the opportunity to engage with the artistic community through talkbacks and workshops.

This year, professional actors will read new plays out loud during the day while working with the playwright in real time. After working on the play during the day, it will be read out loud for an audience in the evening.

Admission to the readings is free.
