THEATRE
A play created by artists with disabilities, inspired by stories of children with disabilities. Charlotte Bubble feels like the world just doesn’t make any sense to her, “I feel like something is wrong, like the world and me just don’t fit.” Wishing she could imagine a whole new world made just for her, she visits the Make Believers Maker Space where she discovers stories of hope, gems of hilarity, battles with equality, and triumphs of the human spirit. Will Charlotte’s imagination be the key to holding space for herself, articulating what she needs, and inviting others into her world?
When: May 4, May 6
Where: cSPACE Marda Loop Studio Theatre, 1721 29th Ave SW, Calgary AB
