As You Like It, or The Land Acknowledgement
By Cliff Cardinal
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2024 AT 7:30PM
Cultural provocateur Cliff Cardinal brings a devastating yet laugh-out-loud examination of land acknowledgements as a cultural and political practice. A timeless tale of mistaken identities, banishment, and forgiveness takes on an entirely new meaning in this subversive update of the Bard’s classic. Cliff’s Cree and Lakota heritage deeply inform his acerbic, mischievous, and fearless dealing with difficult subject matter.
The Invisible Agents of Ungentlemanly Warfare
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2024 AT 7:30PM
In 1940 France, The Invisible, seven exceptional female operatives, risk their lives to fight a dangerous war of sabotage, propaganda and espionage in World War II. Defying norms, these women achieve the impossible, but go completely unseen. The Invisible is a contemporary portrait of brave women betrayed by the world. A musical tour-de-force inspired by the lives of Special Operations Executives.
