We All Need a Home June 4 - 6, 2026
Massey Theatre, New Westminster BC

Please help us spread the word and join us next week for a play about the rights and needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to have a home. Based on research and lived experience, it was co-created with and is acted by a talented group of self advocates supported by the Community Living Society in partnership with the Massey Theatre and the UBC Canadian Institute for Inclusion and Citizenship.

Tickets start at just $10. Please reserve accessible seating by calling 1-888-655-9090.

Opening night includes an Inclusive Housing Showcase from 5:15 - 6:45pm.

More than 5,000 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in British Columbia are on waitlists for housing. Join us to meet organizations and advocates working to change that — and to get connected with inclusive housing supports and services in our community

Please stay after the performance on June 4 to celebrate the actors/co-creators at a mix-and-mingle reception. Appetizers will be served.
