ABOUT THIS EVENT
Developed by queer Halifax-based company HEIST and presented by Montreal-based Black Theatre Workshop, celebrated writer Francesca Ekwuyasi invites you to a reading of her original script, A Nice Ordinary Wedding.
Join us for a public workshop reading of the play. This is not a full production, but rather a work-in-progress and a chance to get a glimpse into the playwrighting process. The event invites feedback and insight from the community, and will feature a Q&A session after the reading.
