Join us for The Canadian Dream: An Interactive Forum Theatre Experience on Newcomer Housing Precarity, Homelessness, & Isolation
What happens when the journey to a new life leads to unsheltered homelessness? Presented by the Outta Work Actors Kaleidoscope Two Minute Play Laboratory in partnership with Social Development Centre Waterloo Region and hosted by Indigenous Creatives United, The Canadian Dream is an interactive, Forum Theatre play inspired by the true story of Mauleek Bhatt—an international student and skilled professional from India who experienced homelessness in Kitchener.
Created through the Kaleidoscope Two Minute Play Laboratory, this is not a passive night at the theatre. In Act II, you become a "spect-actor," invited onto stage to cocreate solutions, discuss possibilities, and address systemic housing barriers.
Join us Wednesday, October 16 at Victoria (Willow River) Park Pavilion (Doors open 6:30 PM). Supported by the Festival of Neighbourhoods and Civic Hub, the play is followed by an All-Candidates Sharing Circle with local Ward 9 Municipal and Kitchener based regional council candidates as well as Kitchener Mayoral Candidates. Admission is free! Reserve your seat at OuttaWorkActors.com with pwyc donation.
