Loyal-T

Sun Aug 6, 3:30pm Wed Aug 9, 6:30pm Sat Aug 12, 11am Tickets. $10/ $13 Box Office. 416.504.9971 Loyal-T Dear Friends of Cahoots, Cahoots Theatre Projects came across an extraordinary play about teen violence written and performed by a group of high school students from North Etobicoke. The play is called LOYAL-T and it was created by youths from North Albion C.I. The director of the play, a young woman named Mila De Battista, was inspired to create LOYAL-T after the horrifying funeral shooting at the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Using African and Caribbean dance and music, the play is a moving expression of the students' outrage and sorrow. We feel that LOYAL-T has the potential to engage young people and to inspire them to say no to violence. I hope you have a chance to come and see the show. Regards, Jovanni North Albion C.I. proudly presents Loyal-T A collaborative play led by student director and lead writer Mila DeBattista. The original recorded musical score is composed and performed by students Yadpreet Singh and Ramandeep Bansal. Choreography is created by Rochelle Stultz and Patrick Parson. Loyal-T follows the lives of four youth as they struggle to make difficult choices with issues close to their hearts in a volatile urban community. Loyal-T’s breathtaking scenes, heart stopping music, theme of friendship and honour, and powerful plea to end violence has brought audiences to their feet with every performance. Recently Loyal-T received several awards of excellence in writing, directing, production and performance at the Provincial Competition of the 60th Annual Sears Drama Festival. The community in where these students live has been brought to the media’s attention on several occasions but not in a positive light. Gang related activity and other violence surround these students on a daily basis. The words, the voices and the images of this play are real. The students have opened their hearts, their minds and their creativity to put forth an artistic piece that is authentic to their experience. The show has been generously supported by the Pitblado Foundation and Cahoots Theatre Projects. To be removed from this mailing list, please send us an e-mail with "unsubscribe" in the subject line.
