Punctuate! Theatre is gearing up for our Casino Fundraiser on August 9 & 10, 2025, and we need YOU to make it a success!
By volunteering for a shift (or two!), you’ll be helping us raise up to $75,000 that will directly support local artists, new productions, and community programming over the next two years. This is one of the most impactful ways you can support our work — just by donating a bit of your time.
Up next…

World Premiere of TAKWAHIMINANA May 2025 at Soulpepper Theatre
TAKWAHIMINANA is a darkly funny exploration of love, identity, and cultural collision. It follows Sharon, a Métis woman born in India, who returned to her ancestral home in Alberta as a teenager, forever caught between cultures. Now an adult, she finds herself at a lavish foodie dinner party hosted by her longtime paramour, marking the unofficial 20th anniversary of their extramarital affair. But as the evening unfolds, simmering tensions boil over—her Indigenous knowledge is both appropriated and fetishized. In the face of erasure and exploitation, can her Kohkom’s teachings guide her toward healing?

Takwahiminana is an innovative and cultural mashup by award-winning playwright Matthew MacKenzie (First Métis Man of Odesa, Bears).
