Watercourse Theatre explores innovative ways to creatively and theatrically share the stories of individuals and groups in our society whose voices are often not heard.

The company stages powerful, compelling and empowering stories through the creation processes and presentation styles that most effectively convey them.

Watercourse Theatre’s work focuses in two areas: creating and staging original plays for professional productions; and community-engaged co-creations.

The company’s professional theatre use drama and humour to explore a wide range of realities including: homelessness and gentrification, youth anxiety, older adults and autonomy, human drug-testers for pharmaceutical companies, Ontario’s child welfare system, and domestic terrorism.

Through our theatre productions co-created with communities, we have learned the powerful impact of this work for co-creators, communities and ourselves. These co-creations weave connections between people and organizations.
