You are invited to a night of performance, connection and community as we experience an unforgettable Black Out Night featuring a performance of "Controlled Damage". Award-winning playwright Andrea Scott examines the life of this trailblazing Canadian civil rights figure and how her act of bravery in a small town cinema set off a powerful wave of change. This rich portrait of a formidable icon offers a poignant reminder of the continuing struggle for social justice in Canada.
After the performance of Andrea Scott’s Controlled Damage, show attendees are invited to step back in time and revel in an evening inspired by the glamour of the Harlem Renaissance and the Roaring Twenties. Embracing the spirit of the era—guests are encouraged to dress to impress in period-inspired attire!
