This is an interactive workshop with youths drawn mainly from anitafrika dub theatre and other youths from the Liberty Village and Parkdale neighborhood in the west end. Efforts will be made to add a venue in the East.

Under the guidance of the Our Lady of Spills production team, headed by Rhoma Spencer, our youths would take part in a three hours session to uncover the mysteries of taking their written work from the page to the stage.

You would learn how to solicit your script to a theatre company, what is the role of the director, the set, costume and lighting designer when working on your script.

You would also get to speak with Our Lady of Spills playwright, Edwige Jean-Pierre and hear from her first hand, how she was able to get her play produced by Theatre Archipelago. For your participation in this workshop, you will be given two complimentary tickets to see a matinee performance of Our Lady of Spills on Sunday May 3 or Saturday 9.

The purpose of this exercise is for us at Theatre Archipelago to give back to our community by fostering another generation of theatre practitioners, especially those youths who may not have the means to see a play in performance.

It is our goal to foster and encourage intercultural understanding, especially among the 15-24 year old through our plays. Our vision is to contribute to an inclusive Canadian society by celebrating the rich traditions of Caribbean heritage storytelling.
