Victoria, CANADA - In 1998, Intrepid Theatre launched Uno Fest – a curated festival of one-person theatre held annually in May.  This year’s festival, which was to feature eight solo shows from across Canada, will no longer be in-person but online. UNO Fest has always pushed the boundaries of what solo performance can be, so they are embracing their festival tagline: Theatre outside the lines. Here’s the lineup: 

Week 1 (starting April 28) features local Victoria artists J McLaughlin, Isaiah Bell, and Lindsay Delaronde. Week 2 (starting May 4) features national artists Kunji Mark Ikeda (Calgary), Sarah Waisvisz (Ottawa), and Tara Travis (Vancouver). Their pieces range from comic and dramatic storytelling, opera, movement, and puppetry. For a full schedule and information on tickets, go here.
