Why is Almeda Theatre in Canada involved with THE WAY OF WATER?

"We have long believed that theatre is one of the most powerful tools for inciting a communal dialogue about the world we live in, the impact contemporary issues have on our health, and the long lasting repercussions our decisions and actions have on our environment and our evolution as a society. The Deepwater Horizon BP oil spill not only affected those in direct contact with the disaster, but it had national and international repercussions.

 

Partnering with US Latina playwright Caridad Svich means that the dialogue erases borders and unites us on an international level to talk about the things that matter most. As one of Canada's only Latin American theatre companies dedicated to developing and producing the work of Latin American artists, we feel it fitting to expand our support and create alliances with Latino artists abroad."

 

THE WAY OF WATER by Caridad Svich will be read at Almeda Theatre on Sunday, April 29th, 2012, 2:30pm at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre. The free reading will be directed by Marilo Nunez, featuring: Karl Ang, Michelle Arvizu, Andrew Moodie, and Cherissa Richards.
