MT Space, 16 William Street W, Waterloo, ON (2026)

MT Space (Multicultural Theatre Space) was created to centralize marginalized and racialized artists and stories, to fill what seems to be a great void in a community of many different people.

As part of this month’s TELL! we're excited to share a screening of the Lullaby Project, directed by local filmmaker Sara Geidlinger.

This film follows three Waterloo Region songwriters who volunteered at Grand Valley Institution for Women, collaborating with incarcerated mothers to write original lullabies for the children they are separated from.

Through guided songwriting sessions, these moms craft lullabies that become powerful expressions of love, memory, and longing — for their kids, and for the selves they’re trying to rebuild.

After the screening, folks will have the opportunity to present their talents, stories, passions, and just about anything else you can think of.

Monday, September 14
Doors at 7:00 PM | Event at 7:30 PM

Bring a potluck dish and join us!

A lot of thought goes into what shows we choose to present. So why did our Artistic Director Pam Patel choose mixed(er) to open our theatre season this year?

This week marks National Volunteer Week! A lot of the work we do at MT Space just wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for our community of fantastic volunteers.

We want to give a big shout out to everyone that has lent their time and effort, both past and present. Your help makes this all possible. Thank you!
