WOW! Our season activities start ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! Our 2026/27 season is rich with the theme of storytelling; particularly storytelling rooted in lived experience. We are thrilled to welcome award-winning author, Isis Maria Henriquez (Isis Maria Henriquez) to host a virtual “Intro To Storytelling” workshop next Saturday, October 10 from 1:30-3:30pm. The workshop is virtual & FREE to attend, but registrants must RSVP in advance & we request you share any access needs you may have when you register. Do so at the 🔗 invitation our bio!

Isis Maria will share her experience with relatability and how to capture and hold readers’ attention. She will highlight the following topics to build your writing: connection, relatability, and attention. You will learn how to recognize, understand, and explore stories and the importance of personal stories in being an author/storyteller, while identifying the point of your writing and other story-building features.

At age 7, Isis Maria Henriquez (she/her) rode with her family from Edmonton, Alberta, to San Salvador, El Salvador. The journey marked the beginning of her life as an educator, traveller, and storyteller. Her first novel, Mangos and Snowflakes, tells the silenced stories of victims of the Salvadoran civil war and explores multigenerational connections. She has experience with disability.

Please note: This is a virtual event. A Zoom link will be provided to all attendees on the morning of the event, via the email address(es) provided upon registration. If any contact information changes, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

FALL SHOW SPOTLIGHT • We are thrilled to feature two ensemble pieces at our upcoming NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US show. You’ve already met their choreographers, but these pieces wouldn’t be what they are without their ensemble members contribute so much by bringing their personal artistic expression to the piece. Experience Clockworks & the hive the swarm for yourself at NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US on Friday Sept 18 (7:30pm) or Saturday 19 (1:30pm). Or heck, come twice! Both performance are ASL interpreted, have audio description, and active listening/peer support will be available on site, provided by registered counsellors. The Backstage Theatre is wheelchair accessible and the performances will occur in a relaxed environment.
