Fempocalypse 2023- Community Care

Fempocalypse is an annual fundraiser produced by the members of Nightwood Theatre's Innovators Program. This year the Innovators are hosting a cabaret night fundraiser with the theme of Community Care in support of Sistering, a multi-service agency for at-risk, socially isolated women and trans people in Toronto who are homeless or precariously housed. Sistering’s programs include a low barrier 24/7 Drop In, Housing and Case Support, Harm Reduction, Peer Outreach, On the Path to Employment, Spun Studio social enterprise, and individual and systemic advocacy.

This year's Fempocalypse will include burlesque, poetry, music, and much more! This evening of art will also include THIS SILENT AUCTION with items and vouchers donated from local businesses and artisans with all proceeds going directly to support our community!

Founded in 1979, Nightwood Theatre prides itself as being Canada’s foremost feminist theatre, providing an essential home for the creation of extraordinary theatre by women including, but not limited to, trans, cis, Two-Spirit, non-binary and gender diverse folks. Since 2016, the Nightwood Innovators Program has engaged with the next generation of leaders in Canada’s theatre industry to give participants the unique opportunity to forge connections with one another and the theatre community in a pivotal time in their careers. As part of the program, the Innovators are given the chance to curate and produce the annual Fempocalypse fundraising event to benefit a charity of their choosing.
