Join us in the Gallery for a Black History Month panel discussion where the Black Cultural Society of PEI will discuss the theme: Creating a New Dynamic. In thinking about cultural diversity across the Island, are there existing perceptions that need to be shifted? How can we ensure the allowance for varying perspectives and the respectful acknowledgment of differences without implications of “otherness?” Is it time to start looking beyond a façade of “diversity” to create a new dynamic on Prince Edward Island? The panel will be moderated by BCSPEI President Tamara Steele. Panelists: Gordon McNeilly, Yvette Doucette, Dante Bazard, and Elizabeth Iwunwa. This event begins at 7 pm, it's FREE and all are welcome to attend.

What are Relaxed Performances?
Sometimes referred to as sensory-friendly experiences, Relaxed Performances give the opportunity for those with various sensitivities towards sensory stimuli to experience and enjoy live theatre.
These performances will be designed in a way to be more comfortable for audience members who may experience anxiety or are not comfortable with some aspects of a traditional theatre setting. This can include people on the Autism Spectrum and their families; those with sensory and communicative disorders or learning disabilities; people with Tourette’s syndrome; someone who might need to move often due to chronic pain or to use the facilities; or even parents with toddlers.
