Tales of Us
Have you ever dreamt of performing your favourite monologue from stage, TV or film in front of an audience? Maybe you have a story or experience you just have to tell. Perhaps you’re more up to the challenge of a piece given to you by the director?
Tales of Us is your chance to make your performance dreams come true
History
Premiering in 2022 as part of the province’s “Come Home Year”, which was created to recognize and support projects from unique cultures. Tales of Us was created to bring performances and stories from the disability lived experience to the stage. The show proved so successful in celebrating cultural diversity through the disability lense we made it part of our regular programming!
For 2024 we’re proud to offer Tales of Us as part of the province’s Year of the Arts programming.

Participation is reserved solely for individuals who self identify as living with a seen or unseen disability. Power Productions is now accepting applications for the next “Tales of Us” production, scheduled to be performed in October 2024!
