About Patch! A (Live) Theatre Festival of Play

THIS IS THE NEW NEXT NORMAL.

Created for the fun-loving and eternally curious, Patch! A (Live) Theatre Festival of Play continues to champion the essentiality of play. 

Now in its fourth iteration, Patch! is reimagined as an international hybrid on/off-line festival. We present works that bring together artists and audiences who love the often messy, sometimes raw, but always powerfully resonant nature of live theatre. 

This year’s festival is a vibrant PATCHwork of innovative digital productions and intimate live experiences. Grounded in the potent power of storytelling, Patch! features quality art-making from expert players, boundary-pushing creativity and unexpected collisions.
