Seventh Stage Productions:
Providing accessible, inclusive, educational arts-based opportunities for women.
Company Mandate:
Seventh Stage began as a professional feminist theatre company that develops and produces socially and politically conscious, thought-provoking and entertaining works by way of Canadian premieres of international work and/or international premieres of Canadian work. We place particular importance on telling stories by women, about women and for everyone. We also generate leadership opportunities for emerging and established female artists through our productions, mentorship programs, community and education outreach and fundraising events.
As theatre opportunities have become limited during the pandemic, Seventh Stage has moved into providing accessible, inclusive and educational arts-based activities and opportunities for women and girls.
Company Vision and Goals:
- Accessibility: Not everyone has the resources or the financial means to take part in arts-based activities or opportunities. With the assistance of corporate partners and community donations, Seventh Stage subsidizes programs and resources for women currently experiencing economic challenges.
- Inclusivity: Arts based programs are often tailored to a privileged few. Seventh Stage aims to create programming and activities tailored to a wide range of users, and taught by leaders with diverse backgrounds, education and expertise to bring to the table.
- Educational: Providing programs and activities that improve the mental, physical and spiritual health of our participants. Creating a safe space for learning, creativity and movement is to our current programming.
