Celebrating 25 Years
Silence
Nothing you do matters, the world keeps getting worse…or does it? Silence irreverently rejects this defeatist attitude. Instead, offering us one of agency and hope. This searing satire grapples with today’s issues from gender, to patriarchy, social roles, and religion. Written over 20 years ago, this play has only grown in relevance. Celebrate our 25th year by helping to fund this newly commissioned operatic version of Silence.

White Christmas
December 19-23, 27-29
Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander. With a dazzling score featuring well-known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love A Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial title song, White Christmas is an uplifting, wholesome musical that will delight audiences of all ages.

Everyone’s favourite ogre is back in the hilarious stage spectacle based on the Oscar-winning, smash hit film.
SHREK the Musical
March 4th-9th, 2025
“Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek….” And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand… and his name is Shrek.

Our 10 Second Autobiography
There are two things we love to see: an emerging artist unleashing their passion and talent on stage, and an audience arrested by a transformative performance.
We exist so both of those things can happen.
NUOVA Vocal Arts provides world-class training to performers, while also filling our communities with unique events, unforgettable performances, and fantastic festivals.
