School Workshop Tour
Toronto, ON - May 2023
We were thrilled to collaborate with Theatre Direct once again, this time to bring The Assembly to schools! With the support of the Toronto Arts Council, The Assembly was workshopped in grade 6, 7, and 8 classrooms around the Greater Toronto Area. The 250 local students worked hard to guide their communities for 75 years.

Nocturne - Art at Night
Halifax, NS - October 2022
The Assembly returned to Nova Scotia for Nocturne - an independent, free, contemporary art festival in Kjipuktuk/Halifax, animating the streets of the city overnight. The Assembly ran for a consecutive 5 hours, where audiences of all ages successfully preserved their city for 40 years.

Forward March Festival
Toronto, ON - April 2022
The Assembly was originally commissioned by Theatre Direct to be part of the 2022 Forward March Festival, where young audiences and families could participate in an intergenerational Assembly in Toronto’s Earlscourt Park. This outdoor iteration of The Assembly used a transportable interactive set, and audiences acted as stewards of Earlscourt Park for 150 years over the course of the run.

MACRO Digitals: Connections
Halifax, NS - March 2022
A version of The Assembly for adult audiences was created as an interactive exhibit in Eastern Front Theatre’s 2022 MACROS: Connections. This production featured an online stream that allowed players from around the world to collaborate with in-person audiences. Over several continuous days of gameplay, audiences guided their downtown core through over 100 years of disasters and deliberations.
