Ottawa’s premier contemporary theatre festival!

For over a decade, undercurrents has been showcasing some of the most innovative and thought-provoking works of art from local and national artists. Our festival brings together artists from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and disciplines to showcase their talents in an intimate and inclusive setting. Our programming is diverse and always fresh, featuring everything from experimental theatre to live music performances, from solo shows to full productions. We believe in giving a platform to emerging artists and voices that are underrepresented in mainstream media.

Under Development

under development is the Ottawa Fringe’s new play development program, inviting local artists/collectives to work on their new creation pieces in residence at Arts Court for a year.

under development offers rehearsal/creation space and access to professional development opportunities, workshops, and Fringe resources. Participants have the freedom to create based on their own process and timeline, with access to resources on an as needed/requested basis.

under development participants meet regularly with Fringe staff and as a group for updates and to share their work.

Celebrating diversity in theatre, music, and spoken word performances!
