Putting our meat where our mouths are: Diversity and inclusivity at Fresh Meat 6
If – a year ago – you asked someone to describe Fresh Meat, they’d probably say something along the lines of “local festival of new experimental theatre creations in Ottawa.” And, if we’re being honest, like most things in theatre, they’d probably also describe it as white AF.

Eric Coates: “New work will only thrive as long as we celebrate the impulse to create it.”
Nothing but world premieres in the Fresh Meat theatre festival lineup
Now a mainstay in the Ottawa theatre season, Fresh Meat has presented more than 50 world premieres of short plays. Fresh Meat 6 runs for two weekends from October 12–21 at the Arts Court Studio.
Ottawa’s freshest theatre fest turns five
This testing ground for indie theatre has seen more than forty short plays premiere since 2012. It’s a chance to see nascent ideas tested out before a live audience. And it’s that opportunity to explore potential, without the fear of failure, that makes Fresh Meat such a unique night out.
