Impulse Theatre’s Peek Fest is our annual festival for arts workers. The festival offers an exciting new look at work-in-development from innovative creators and celebrates creation, performance, connection, and exploration. 

The festival also contributes to the growth of arts workers through residencies, showcases, workshops, and more. Arts workers are offered the chance to investigate their impulses and processes, and audiences are always thrilled with the fresh and dynamic work shared.
Peek Fest returns in Fall 2025

WORKSHOP SERIES

The Peek Fest workshop series covers a range of exciting topics, and is designed to provide substantial training opportunities to local arts workers ranging from performance creation to administration.

Peek Show showcases new works from local performing artists, from text, to dance, to somewhere in-between. ​Presented twice-annually, once in the Spring and once in the Fall at Peek Fest. The most recent edition was Peek Show 17, as part of Peek Fest 2024.
