We are off to a great start in partnership with the wonderful folks at CRC Rideau-Rockcliffe CRC on the Seniors Sharing Stories community-engaged theatre project. Response to the project is strong, and we are over-subscribed with folks wanting to be involved, breaking the silences and shining the light on what are all too often invisible lives, struggles, challenges, and joys of navigating elder years with dignity, community, and support.

After a week of discussion on critical issues facing Ottawa seniors, we are now prepared to move to the next stage of the project, developing scenes that will form the basis of a play presented in early June. Stay tuned! ... See MoreSee Less

Burning Passions Theatre is looking for seniors interested in being part of a new community-engaged theatre project, Seniors Sharing Stories.

Together we will create a short play about the challenges, hopes and dreams of low-income elders. Too many seniors’ lives are marginalized and kept out of the spotlight, and we intend to change that.

There’s no experience necessary to join! We would love to hear from you if you enjoy acting, stage managing, making props or costumes, and working together to create an artistic project.

We will meet twice a week between starting the week of April 15 until the last week of May, with two performance dates.

Rehearsals and performances will all be held at the CRC Rideau-Rockcliffe CRC. You’ll meet new friends, learn new skills, and create something of lasting benefit to the community.

Deadline: April 14, 2024

To join in the fun, contact Artistic Producer Laurel Smith at:
