The line up for the 17th annual edition of the festival features many of the familiar names of the theatre community in Prince Rupert, as well as some engaged newcomers looking to grab some of the spotlight from the old vets.
Tickets are available at show time at the Tom Rooney Playhouse, or you can drop into Homework at Cow Bay to pick up a Five Day Pass to the week long festival.
This years productions offer up some intriguing titles, from Hedges and Interrogation, to what could be a mirror to the city's media beat in Deadline.
Also destined to be a crowd favourite is the presentation of The Adventures of Lyle McNish, a creation of the team of McNish and Rudy Kelly. In recent years of the Udderfest festival, that pair of local theatre enthusiasts have provided for many an evening of timely and topical observations of Prince Rupert life.
Add into the mix War of Wits and Hook Line and Snicker and the five day pass might be your best bet to take in all of the festivals creative efforts.
This year all productions taking place through the five days of Udderfest are being hosted at the Tom Rooney Playhouse on 3rd Avenue West.
