Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kyshona has released the official video for 'Fallen People,' a track from her forthcoming album Listen. 'In a time when we are all so divided, this song was written as a reminder that each and every one of us has an obstacle we're trying to overcome, an emotional wound we are living with, and a struggle that we're walking with everyday,' she says of 'Fallen People.” The video features news ripped from the headlines--scenes of chaos, protest, and war--juxtaposed with Kyshona performing in the midst of serene, natural beauty. Written with Jenn Bostic and Maureen Murphy, 'Fallen People' is a reflection on how we see others; its classic feel encourages us to handle each another with care, and to realize that we can find commonality in our humanity.
On Friday, November 8th, Kyshona will release 'Fear,' a swampy new track from her forthcoming album Listen, out February 28, 2020. The song, written with her brother and fellow artist Kelvin Armstrong, premiered exclusively at The Boot earlier this week. 'In an age in which we all have a digital platform to express ourselves, we seldom feel heard. Kyshona, the electrifying Nashville-based singer-songwriter, knows that better than anyone,' said The Boot. 'Kyshona effortlessly grooves between roots, R&B and folk music. On 'Fear'...she digs deep into a swampy hook that dredges the depths of our subconscious. While the song explores all of the ways we tell ourselves what we can't do, Kyshona imbues it with the determination needed to free ourselves from our doubts.'
On Wednesday evening, a powerful and complex exploration of identity, generational trauma, and spirituality opened at the Stratford Festival's Studio Theatre. The English language premiere of Wajdi Mouawad's BIRDS OF A KIND (English Translation by Linda Gaboriau) provokes thought and emotion and is a great companion to NATHAN THE WISE, which opened at the same theatre earlier in the season and despite being very different tonally, shares many themes. Directed by Festival Artistic Director Antoni Cimolino, BIRDS OF A KIND begins as a story of two almost unknowingly star crossed lovers and morphs into a tale about members of a family each struggling to honour their perceived identities and religions in their own ways.
Birds of a Kind, Wajdi Mouawad's award-winning play about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, is now in previews before its official English-language première on Wednesday, August 14, at the Festival's Studio Theatre.

On June 15, a moving, and at times very funny production of NATHAN THE WISE opened at the Stratford Festival's Studio Theatre.

Why Not Theatre continues to change the game of theatre with their pioneering, thought-provoking, and award-winning theatre, created in Canada and around the world.

A gender-bending, English and American Sign Language (ASL) bilingual production of Shakespeare's Hamlet may sound ambitious - but it plays as compellingly human. Maybe you're not familiar with the story. Maybe you've seen it a hundred times. Regardless, Why Not Theatre's PRINCE HAMLET will defy your expectations. Ravi Jain has adapted Shakespeare's most famous play in a way that is relevant and, as the title suggests, focuses more intimately on its protagonist's struggle to understand human nature.
