NextFest is an annual springtime multi-disciplinary arts festival in Edmonton, Alberta. The edgy festival is dedicated to providing professional development opportunities and exposure to emerging artists in theatre, film, music, dance, and visual art.

NeXtFest Anthology features five plays from the festival's first five years, 1996-2000. This selection of new works is a wacky, quirky, humorous, dark, uplifting, mysterious, and, above all, highly entertaining collection from fresh new talents. This anthology contains:
