The View From Here

The Show

A documentary play and curated exhibition in development about the Grandview Training School for Girls.  This inter-arts project explores a darker side of the history of Waterloo Region, and the unique relationship between the playwright and the building which housed the reformatory school, as she lived there when the buildings were owned by a Christian performing arts organization. The exhibition, which changes throughout the performance of the play, interrogates how personal narrative affects history and how we might integrate difficult local history into our own story. 

Presented in association with Inter Arts Matrix.
