Everton introduced our guest speakers Emily and Jajdij from M T Space- a Charitable not for profit multicultural theatre group.
They run productions including lots of mentoring with local youth in theatre and dance. Their shows are touring in Canada from Coast to Coast and abroad.
They run the Impact 19 Festival which runs September 24-29 and has 60 performances in Kitchener. Lots of cultures from around the world on display through theatre and dance.
They sponsored a Syrian refugee theatre student to come to Canada and they are doing very well and have produced two plays to date.
A key mandate of MT Space is to make theatre accessible to all. Young and old all ethnicities welcomed. Tickets are $20 for individual shows or less if bought as a seasons pass.
