LUNATION is a series of theatrical gatherings inspired by days of significance in various months.  This year we will be featuring a community play reading format which invites participants to read from or listen to and then discuss a play. Come and read a part or lend your ears: no acting experience required!  

 

We are excited about our 25/26 program.  Our first LUNATION event will take place on Saturday Sept. 27 @7:30pm and will respond to Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.  

 

On Saturday Nov. 8, @7:30,  we will respond to the theme of War in connection to Remembrance Day.  

​

More details to come.

Early phases of Lunation

​

Threshold began offering LUNATION events for selected months in our St. Clair West and Oakwood Village neighbourhoods prior to the pandemic. 

 

The first LUNATION event was in response to February's theme of Family-- a performance of Mark Cassidy’s Allistonian Brockvillian Dionysian.  ABD took place at the Amp Studio Café on Oakwood Ave.  

​

Our March theme was 'Water' in response to World Water Day and featured a reading of Stormbound by Carol Cece Anderson at St. Matthew's United Church 729 St. Clair Ave. W.  

​

April was National Poetry Month and we celebrated with Recite Night at Ellington's Music & Café 805 St. Clair Ave. West.  People  came out to share and discuss their favourite poems.

​

In May the focus was National Mining Week exploring the controversial legacy of the Canadian mining industry. Our program took place on May 31 in Roseneath Park.

​

Our October event focussed on mental health, in response to World Mental Health Day on October 10.  Threshold presented The Girl in the Picture Tries to Hang up the Phone written and performed by Hume Baugh,  Saturday October 27 at St. Matthew's United Church (in the parlour).​
