How can we make theatre a more inclusive space? In the latest interview for The Flying Monkey vlog, we ask playwright Yvonne Wallace (Ucwalmicw) of the Lil’wat Nation, her thoughts; and to share her own compelling, deeply moving, lived experience of language reclamation and artistic growth.

Multi award-winning Ruby Slippers Theatre imagines an inclusive world where diversity is celebrated through a deeper understanding of each other. To realize this vision, our mission is to illuminate under-represented perspectives by giving voice to diverse artists from across the country including Quebec work in English translation.
