Some Assembly Theatre Company to Present HOME at The Roundhouse

Home is a new and original Canadian production that shares a powerful vision of hope from local diverse youth in the search for a healthy home, both within oneself and one's community. Cultural representation includes Ojibway, Chinese, Greek, French, Kurdish, Serbian, and the Kwakwaka'wakw Nation.

When a favourite local hangout is threatened with a corporate takeover, two First Nations young female managers rally the regulars to save the place they call "home". In doing so, they passionately showcase the importance of their community by giving those within it a voice. Through a journey of brave disclosures, original music and transformation, they discover their individual and collective power. With the desire for positive social change, Home encourages dialogue and explores the importance of support when dealing with a violation of home in our communities and ourselves. Home includes non-graphic dialogue about sexual assault, body image issues, substance use, and one young woman's journey to raise awareness about the perseverance of First Nations people.

Performance Times: May 3, 1:30pm | May 4, 11am & 1:30pm | May 5 & 6, 7:30pm.
