Step into the future of Canadian theatre with The Shiny Penny Festival of New Works, a dynamic play festival showcasing bold, original works currently in development by emerging and established Canadian playwrights. From intimate character studies to sweeping historical dramas, each piece offers a fresh perspective on the stories that shape us. This is your chance to experience the raw, unfiltered power of storytelling in its earliest and most exciting stages — and to support homegrown talent as they bring new visions to life on stage. Celebrate the heart, humour, and honesty of Canadian voices. The next great play starts here.
