Aluna Theatre x TPM

The artistic mission of Aluna Theatre is to embrace the myriad of voices, cultures, and stories of our population, which are transforming the landscape of Canadian theatre. In our plays, works in translation, and international co-creations, people are complex individuals who exist beyond the restrictions of cultural labels. 

We are working with Aluna Theatre once more this 22.23 season on a co-production of Rubble by Suvendrini Lena, a world premiere.
