Review: In the “Dead of Winter,” it's a chilling new horror theatre festival - Sesaya Arts Magazine "The inaugural “Dead of Winter” festival met the January moment with energy, variety, winking humour, and a refreshing lack of pretension." ~ Scott Sneddon

Thank you for the wonderful and thoughtful review Intermission!
Samca is a disturbing, unique production | Intermission The feminist folklore play, written by and starring Natalia Bushnik and Kathleen Welch, is an engrossing and sometimes frightening experience, perfect to kick off the scary season.

Hey friends!!
We're doing a show! A big spooky one! And we got really lucky with CCA funding, but based on the scale of the production we're $3000 short of reaching our budget. The arts are struggling, and we know times are really tight for everyone, but even $5 makes a huge difference to our team.
So so grateful for all the generous donations and shares so far, sending love love love!! xoxo
