Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival

Whistler's Annual Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival takes place in August every year.

2023 marks the festival’s 12th Anniversary!

It’s a fun-filled festival that showcases live theatre, music, comedy over a number of magical days and nights.

There’s even a floating stage!

The Flagstop Play Project & Actor Mentorship Program 2023 is a theatre arts incubation program that highlights BC playwrights, actors and directors.

We ask writers to submit One Act plays to be produced/directed as part of the 2023 Flagstop Theatre Mentorship Program and ultimately performed at the Flagstop Theatre and Arts Festival in Whistler in August.

Finalist plays will be selected from a varied cross section of BC based  playwrights (new and established) that display cultural and social diversity. The three finalists plays will be produced in three regions; a play selected from a First Nations, Métis or Inuk (Inuit) playwright will be produced in the Squamish/Lil’wat community, one play will be produced in Whistler and one in the Lower Mainland.

Call for submissions opens on February 6th, 2023!
