Description
The Magnetic North Theatre Festival is an annual Canadian cultural theatre event, showcasing works by Canadian theatre artists from across the country. Magnetic North features some of the most exciting productions of English theatre to tour Canada, and promotes the diversity and quality of Canadian theatre to Canadians.
Established in 2002, the Magnetic North Theatre Festival alternates between Ottawa and a different Canadian city each year. In addition to live theatre, the festival is a forum for Canadian theatre professionals to market their work to national and international presenters and touring venues.
To date, the festival has travelled from Ottawa to Edmonton, St. John’s, Vancouver, Kitchener-Waterloo and Calgary. This year we're coming home to Ottawa June 7-15, 2013.
