Coming up this Monday! 🙌🏾🙌🏿🙌🏼

RCYP is excited to announce that We Are Not The Others will be giving a performance the first evening of the RCYP International Conference!

Created by RCYP Team Lead Dr. Mirna Carranza alongside Izad Etemandi, this theatre performance re-tells the stories of women immigrants to Hamilton. Using the words, expression and poetry of women, the play challenges the ways in which "regular" or non-immigrants view migration. It also speaks to their hopes and dreams for themselves, their families and future newcomer women.

We Are Not the Others has played in Hamilton, Toronto, Peterborough and London. It was featured at the Hamilton Fringe Festival and was Awarded critics choice.

Please join us March 25th at 7:15 pm in the Auditorium (2nd floor) of the Toronto Central YMCA at 20 Grosvenor Street to see this fantastic performance!

"We are Not The Others should be touring our high schools. Students, staff, and administration could learn a thing or two about life as an immigrant woman in present day Canada and perhaps realize that a little empathy and patience could go a very long way." http://bit.ly/2tMiDeD
