The 26th Annual U of T Drama Festival

Every February, a plethora of original one act plays compete for five coveted awards over the three nights of this annual adjudicated festival. The University of Toronto Drama Festival provides a high profile showcase for up-and-coming theatrical talent as well as an accessible avenue for U of T students to perform and direct on the historic Hart House Theatre stage. This year also marks the 16th Drama Festival of only accepting original student written plays, serving as a much needed showcase for talented U of T playwrights. Each evening concludes with a public adjudication and the festival concludes with awards and recognition given by the adjudicator.
