Event description

OUTstages returns to heat up your winter this January and February, with shows from leading queer artists from Whitehorse, Vancouver, and Toronto/UK, alongside local performance-makers, including the the return of Ivan Coyote, back by popular demand, plus a host of free events for artists and audiences.

There will be a raucous closing night party complete with pop-up performances from local queer artists; a Happy Hour drag show at The Vicious Poodle; plus free workshops for local art-makers and two free mixers where you just might meet a new art bestie. — Under 25?
