Paprika Theatre Festival, recognized as one of the most crucial launching pads for emerging artists in Toronto’s theatre ecology, announces its 23rd annual Paprika Theatre Festival. May 14-19 At Native Earth Performing Arts
Paprika Festival is a youth-led professional performing arts organization. We run year round professional training and mentorship programs that culminate in a performing arts festival of new work by young artists.
Kicking off on May 14th, the festival opens its doors for Torontonians to experience an amazing lineup of workshops, presentations, staged readings, and community events in the Regent Park neighborhood of downtown Toronto on a budget that works for their wallet. The groundbreaking festival showcases the work of nineteen young and emerging artists, offering a glimpse into the exciting future of Canadian Theatre. The Paprika Festival runs May 14 to 19, 2024, with in-person events occurring at Native Earth Performing Arts’ Aki Studio.
