We create intimate and compelling theatre that reflects our region’s unique identity and provokes conversations about our past, present, and future.

What’s New?
Women of Resilience
In September 2020, ECT started production on a documentary film creation based on our beloved Senior Stories project. Directed by Egyptian-Canadian filmmaker, Roselyn Kelada-Sedra, Women of Resilience features the stories of some remarkable older women of Niagara. Approximately 45 minutes in length, the film highlights four senior women from diverse backgrounds with the themes of regeneration through connection.
