Chinook Series
Making theatre accessible for all
SOUND OFF takes place each winter as part of the Chinook Series festival. The Chinook Series is Edmonton’s international curated arts series and runs March 25th to April 4th, 2021. It is a collaboratively curated performance experience, bringing artists and communities together to share and celebrate through live art.
In keeping with SOUND OFF's dedication to accessibility for all audiences, we collaborate with our producing partners, Azimuth Theatre, Expanse Festival and Edmonton Fringe Theatre to help make their Chinook performances and events accessible for all attendees.
