Storytelling, Spoken Word - Winter/Spring 2026

And Then This One Time - Sweet Stories for Hard Times

Join storyteller, writer, and musician and longtime Intrepid friend Ivan Coyote for a one-night-only and very special fundraiser, as they take to The Metro stage for one final evening of stories, laughs, and maybe a "crylaugh," because sometimes we all just need a good crylaugh. Ivan will share excerpts from past shows brought to The Metro (including Playlist and Tomboy Survival Guide), and if you're really good, maybe they'll treat you to a brand new story or two. About the artist: Ivan Coyote is the author of 13 books, the creator of three films, two albums that combine storytelling and music, and nine full-length multimedia stage productions. Coyote’s books have won the BC Book Prize Jim Deva Award for Writing That Provokes, the Stonewall Honor Book Award, and been short-listed for the Hilary Weston Prize for non-fiction and the Governor General Award twice. Coyote lives in Whitehorse, Yukon.

Drag - OUTstages 2026

ColourVision

Born during the age of digital quarantine drag to keep the POC drag community alive, Noah Lott's passion project ColourVision has evolved into a highly anticipated annual multimedia theatre drag experience! The fight for visibility, inclusivity and equity is one not unfamiliar to BIPOC artists within performance spaces. ColourVision has not only filled the gaps by platforming performers of all ethnicities and styles in the spotlight but has caused a ripple effect throughout the scene. Today the Victoria Drag scene is blessed to have established POC icons of the community as well as new up and coming starlets sprouting year round. ColourVision is more than a show — it’s a revolution. What began as a hope for POC drag has transformed into a yearly beacon of flamboyant expression, melanated empowerment, and elevated artistry. Each year, the stage ignites with the voices of those long pushed to the margins — and this is just the beginning. Welcome to the future of drag. Welcome to ColourVision! About the Artists Your Host: Sylvester Stalletto has been packing a punch while flaunting his heavy hitting tricks, commanding stage presence, and Latinx roots! Gender-bending, boobless and bearded, this Trans Drag King has dominated the West Coast of Canada since 2022 as the powerhouse performer, charming host, hard working producer and underdog you'll always be rooting for. Some notable work of his includes: performing at Isle of Tease Burlesque Festival, featuring in 2 BBNO$ music videos “Boom” & “NSFW”, inheriting the 1st all BIPOC drag show ColourVision with Intrepid Theatre, taking lead as Shade Burlesque Festival’s Promotions & Marketing Coordinator & creating & producing the popular monthly drag, burlesque and pole dancing show Lust Lounge and Talent Tuesday at gay bar Friends of Dorothy. Sylvester's culture and decolonizing practices shared to him by his mentors has always informed him to advocate for marginalized audiences and performers along the way. Sylvester has been handed the torch of producing ColourVision and he is thrilled to propel its evolution and support BIPOC artists on this scale for years to come!
