The SHATTERING Western Canada Tour Itinerary is confirmed!

We are extremely happy to announce that our 31 Community - 2008 Western Canada Tour has been booked. We are working closely with First Nations and non-Aboriginal organizations across BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan to coordinate 33 shows in 31 communities. Back by popular demand, this tremendously successful Forum Theatre addiction prevention project originally toured British Columbia back in 2006/2007.

You can access the project and final tour itinerary here

Please stay tuned for upcoming announcements about the shows in Vancouver!

Kitsilano Neighbourhood House in collaboration with Headlines Theatre presents:

A stimulating theatre event exploring the difficult issue of elder abuse. This special, one night only, public performance is the culmination of a six-day workshop on the mistreatment and neglect of seniors. Come be a part of the dialogue as we explore and seek responses to this rarely discussed issue in a way that is not only creative, but also safe and fun.

Be a part of the process…

 

August 30 at 7pm (doors open at 6:30)
St. Mark’s Anglican Church
1805 Larch Street, Vancouver, BC
Admission by donation
