UPCOMING
COMMUNITY SERIES
Join Page1 Theatre for an afternoon of food, connection, and an open mic!
The goal for this event is to bring people together to share some food, and to share something with the group. There will be tea, coffee, and desserts. After that, anyone who would like to share something will be welcome to.
You can share a poem, a short story, something from a book you're reading, come dance or teach the group how to dance. Or tell us your favourite joke, maybe share your best celebrity impression. Maybe you're an expert in a particular field - come share your most interesting facts.

DEVELOPMENT
This show aims to push back and tackle misinformation and misconceptions about refugees and asylum seekers, while highlighting the fact that everyone deserves a safe place to live, access to health care, food, and water.
This story will also draw on the increasing threat of climate change, specifically here in Mi’kma’ki / Atlantic Canada, and will challenge audiences to ask themselves - what does it mean to be a refugee?
What does it mean to seek asylum?
Combining first-hand testimony from survivors in Holland, and Toronto, as well as over five years of research, this show uses the 2016 gay purge of people in Chechnya as a starting place to reflect the current global rise of anti-Queer and anti-Trans rhetoric. Through text, movement, and music, we follow four characters who face the impacts of forced displacement, generational colonization, and ong0ing war.
