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.
