The Watershed Festival - Reimagining Music Theatre in Kingston, Ontario is a celebration and exploration of ALL things Music Theatre. We acknowledge the fact that the various forms of music theatre, including opera and musical theatre, have often existed in divided communities with very little interaction. We also acknowledge that past and current Music Theatre practises lean heavily on a Euro-centric perspective, to the exclusion of many racially, culturally and gender diverse creators and audiences. Music, drama, dance and design - Music Theatre offers the thrilling potential to evolve into one of the world’s most inclusive art forms. The Watershed Festival seeks to DEFINE what we know about Music Theatre in an effort to bring together the worlds of opera, musical theatre and everything in between, and REDEFINE that world by embracing the richness of diversity, encouraging bold and innovative new work and changing the way we think about the art form.

IndieFest is a musical gathering that brings together artists and audiences from all walks of life to expand artistic practices, experience new works of art, and express creative voices. This new festival, approaching its fifth year in 2024, celebrates an emerging field in the performing arts sector. From new opera, to virtual reality, to Indigenous practice, to drag, the festival amplifies the imaginative forms of storytelling and diverse artists unique to the Pacific Northwest. IndieFest promises to be an artistic and cultural experience like no other.
