🦉🗯️THE RUMOURS ARE TRUE —- WE ARE MOVING TO ST. CATHARINES!!!
It’s that time of year again... THE SLATE FESTIVAL! (& time to post bc it’s a FULL MOON!!!)
The Slate Festival 2025 will be running from October 3rd to 5th at a brand new location for us... The Green (36 James Street, St Catharines). We are honoured to have support from fellow theatre creators (and lovely humans) at Suitcase In Point, as well as financial support from the City of St. Catharines to bring this year’s festivities to life.
Our incredible artists have been hard at work putting together a spectacular show for you all, with readings of brand new plays, first-ever performances of killer new songs, and the staged premiere of a returning artist (and friend).
We’re so happy to have invited Alison Adams back as our headliner, with her new play, Perfect, Perfect Girls. This show is an evolution of the excerpt she shared with audiences last year (stupid dumb idiot) —if you attended The Slate 2024, you’ll have been a part of the growth of this project!! From page to stage- literally!!
But that’s not all... We’re so excited to be sharing these original works-in-progress alongside our returning artist:
Union by Oliver Pitschner
For ____ by Jenae Fairclough
Aren’t You My Brother? by Roselyn Kelada-Sedra & Suchiththa Wickremesooriya
AND RETURNING (in some way shape or form) !!!
Music by Almost Through April (Frankie, Simon & Zakk)
Tunes by Mad Seeding
For a detailed schedule of The Slate Festival or to reserve tickets, check out our website. Tickets will also be available at the door pending availability.
We cannot wait to share more details with you as we head into this exciting new year!!
Can’t wait to see you there!
