Ruby Slippers Theatre in association with The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and Playwrights Guild of Canada present The Advance Theatre Festival: Advancing the Radically Inclusive Stage.
Staged Readings of five new works written and directed by equity deserving IBPOC artists.

A young Indigenous journalist arrives at an isolated prairie castle to interview a legendary artist. As a mysterious plague threatens to erase memories, the night unfolds into an unearthly masquerade that explores memory, secrets, truth, and lies. Nothing is quite what it seems… and some stories refuse to be told without a cost.
