The Birds
2025-02-15 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | Erindale Studio Theatre, 3359 Mississauga Road
By Yvette Nolan
Directed by Marcel Stewart
Aristophanes’s 2400-year-old comical allegory of the relationship between humans, nature, and the Gods is refashioned as a playfully satirical examination of the relationship between First Nations and settlers in this comedy by Yvette Nolan, one of the country’s most prominent indigenous theatre makers and playwrights. A play about profound questions, about land and ownership, about reconciliation and appropriation, about utopian escapism and real-life politics that wears its seriousness lightly, set in a richly imagined, song-and-dance-filled land of the birds.

The Ampersand Review February Writing Series
2025-02-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Sheridan College – Hazel McCallion Campus, 4180 Duke of York Boulevard, Mississauga, Ontario, L5B 0G5, Canada
Join us for The Ampersand Review February Writing Series with author Sydney Hegele!
Author Sydney Hegele will lead us in a two-hour workshop titled The Great Unsaid: Subtext, Distance, & Implication in Fiction Writing. Employing subtext in our work is a delicate task. Too little, and we have “on the nose” dialogue, our characters’ traumas sensationalized for shock-value. Too much, and “reading between the lines” becomes more work than our story is worth—our plot lacks stakes, our setting has nothing to anchor it, and our characters have no lives beyond the page. Through a series of generative writing exercises, participants will learn how to effectively use what is left unsaid to create evocative descriptions, realistic dialogue, higher stakes, and better plot pacing, inviting readers to become active participants in the world of their work. Participants are encouraged to use an on-going (fiction) work-in-progress of their own as a reference point through the exercises (a novel or short story), though everyone will receive a copy of the exercises and workshop notes to take home and use for future work as well.
Spots are limited so reserve your seat early!*
*Please note that anyone registered for a student ticket will need to show their Sheridan Student ID at the door.
Location: Sheridan College Hazel McCallion Campus, Room B222, 4180 Duke of York Blvd.
