SKATEPARK
2025-11-07 19:30 - 20:45, 2025-11-08 13:30 - 14:45 (America/Toronto) | National Arts Centre, 1 Elgin Street, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 5W1, Canada
Hijinks on deck!
The theatre stage is transformed into a skatepark, a multifaceted setting where freedom expresses itself through tricks of the parkour, choreographic flow, and countercultural high jinks. In this ode to the nostalgia of her youth, Danish choreographer Mette Ingvartsen explores the speed, power, and energy of movement on wheels, and the music celebrating skater culture’s inclusivity. SKATEPARK’s punks are out for a good time, with no shortage of gravity-testing jumps and tricks, parabolas, and ‘eights’.
Mette Ingvartsen approaches choreography as a “permeable” practice, one that is fluid, porous and open to the world. In her research, she homed in on reframing the smaller movements that surround the practice of skateboarding to define her choreographic language, and created the work through knowledge sharing in close connection with the skater community in Brussels where she is based.
On stage, a motley crew of Ottawa’s local skaters join with professional dancers, skateboarders and roller skaters from across generations in a shared space where perseverance, experimentation and healthy rivalry contribute to a unique sense of community.
Did you know?
When skateboarding took off in the early to mid 1960s, Canada adopted the term “skurfboard” to refer to an 18-inch board with roller skate wheels.
There are 195 skateparks in Canada, with 45% of them in British Columbia (source: skatepark.ca 2019).
Fun Fact
The prelude to SKATEPARK will be performed by members of Ottawa’s skate community. Arrive early to witness their tricks!
Post-show chat
Following the presentation of SKATEPARK on Thursday, November 6, we invite the audience to stay in the Theatre for a post-show chat with the artists

Tom Green Stompin' Comedy Tour

You know Tom Green from his innovative, anything-goes run as the most unpredictable personality on MTV’s The Tom Green Show, and his unforgettable, deliciously loony roles in the uproarious film comedies, including Road Trip, Charlie’s Angels, Bob the Butler, Stealing Harvard and the cult classic Freddy Got Fingered.
The multi-talented Canadian comedian, actor, director, and broadcaster graced the cover of Rolling Stone, hosted Saturday Night Live, commandeered the coveted guest-host chair on Late Night with David Letterman, and conquered the World Wide Web with his free-wheeling, wildly popular internet talk show. Tom is often called the godfather of the podcasting revolution, who inspired a generation of voices to find their platform.
A Crave Original Series, Tom Green’s Funny Farm, marks the debut of Tom’s co-development deal with Bell Media. Each episode features Tom hosting a variety of special guests – from stand-up comedians, prominent celebrities, and quirky country experts – all with an emphasis on how proud Tom is to be a Canadian.
Earlier this year, Amazon Prime Video exclusively released an unprecedented three projects from Tom, which received national critical acclaim. Including his new comedy special, Tom Green: I Got a Mule!, which showcased his unique blend of comedy and music, highlighting his trademark willingness to take risks, push boundaries and his ability to blend humour with heart! Filmed at your very own National Arts Centre back in 2024!
Don’t miss an evening of Green’s hysterical comedy, along with stories about his career and a selection of original songs live at the NAC!

Kick-off December by joining us at Manor Lounge on Elgin, Monday, December 1st, for our Opening & Closing Numbers theme night, celebrating the showstoppers that start it all and the finales that leave you buzzing. 🌟
.
✨ NEW ✨ With a year of incredible sold out shows behind us, we’re adapting our ticket structure to make sure even more people can enjoy BNO while also making sure we aren’t TOO squished inside our little bubble of theatre joy! 🫧🎭
.
General Admission tickets mean you will have a seat in the main area where the show takes place (specific tables and seats are first-come-first-serve).
We will in turn be creating extra space in the back of the main room for Standing-Room/Overflow Seating tickets at a lower price-point. This way, if General Admission tickets are sold out, you can still enjoy all the magic of the show and dance to your favourite theatre bops (more theatre magic for more friends— hooray!!) And don’t worry, if you’d like to sit down, there will be overflow seating in the front half of the venue where you can still hear and sing-along with the show! (Some overflow seats have limited visibility, but there are also many with a great view of the stage!) 🎭
.
THANK YOU Ottawa for your overwhelming love and support for our little show!! We LOVE YOU and can’t wait to see even more of you each month to celebrate our shared Broadway obsession and this beautiful community! ❤️
