The Rhubarb Festival is the annual showcase for 12 works-in-progress at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, the 39th edition of which takes place Feb. 14 to 25, and it’s structurally unlike many of the other arts festivals that take over Toronto. “I don’t know who made that choice at one point in time, but in 2018 I think it’s critical to the success of this festival,” said festival director Mel Hague, helming her fourth festival of experimental, unclassifiable works. The party and concert at Buddies in Bad Times will also feature musicians like Lido Pimienta, Casey Mecija, Jenny Mecija, Kamilah Apong, TiKA and more. Carly Maga is a Toronto Star theatre critic. The Rhubarb Festival runs at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, 12 Alexander St. See buddiesinbadtimes.com or call 416-975-8555 for tickets and information.
