On Cue Regina works to strengthen Regina’s theatre and performing arts community, afford greater public access to these art forms, and increase the career viability of professional performing arts groups and individual artists. To do so, we recognize that Regina is a component of a broader cultural ecosystem. As such, we seek to partner with artists and performing arts organizations province-wide, offering our services broadly to the extent possible.
Description
"CHECKPOINT" is a deeply personal auto-ethnographic play that reflects my own journey of growing up in the Middle East and eventually building a life in Canada. The play follows my main character as she cares for her father, who is battling dementia, prompting her to revisit memories of her homeland. Through this process, she seeks to answer critical questions: Why do we need to know where we are from? What is home without land? This one-woman show weaves together stories from Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, Russia, and Israel. It is a story born from my own experiences, hopes, and struggles—an attempt to preserve my cultural heritage, confront difficult truths, and find pathways toward healing and reconciliation.
