SummerWorks: Your Guide to Choosing the Right Show For You

Summer festivals can be a bit overwhelming: how are you supposed to decide what to see?!

To make it a little easier, we’ve recommended three shows we’re excited to see, and accomplished festival-goer Derrick Chua has recommended twelve of his own. Here’s another strategy to help you choose what to see: we’ve gone through the shows and highlighted some of the topics and themes that might be interesting to you. Happy SummerWorks!
