Currently in its second year of operation, our award-winning Creative Warrior program uses the arts, storytelling and performance to help military members and their families transition from active service to civilian life. This program is funded through the generosity of the True Patriot Love Foundation.

Groundling Theatre invites you to peak behind the digital curtain as we share some of the work we have been pioneering in our Performance and Immersive Technology Lab.

Join us for an intimate TEDx-style conversation with Artistic Director Graham Abbey and Lab Creative Director Christopher Lane, followed by the premiere of The Hunt: A Shakespeare Story – an intimate Virtual Reality experience that reimagines how we connect with theatre in the digital age.

In partnership with the True Patriot Love Foundation, Canada’s national foundation for the military community, and the Creative Warrior program, this panel discussion examines the reintegration of military personnel into civilian life—a journey Joseph Campbell describes as “crossing the return threshold.”

Join us, for this Pay What You Can discussion, as we explore the challenges of this transition and the healing power of creative arts in addressing the mental and physical impacts of war.

Join us for an intensive, practical, 2.5-day VR Storytelling Workshop for theatre artists who want to up-skill in this new artistic medium.

The workshop will be open to 6 –10 theatre makers from the GTA. As spatial storytellers, theatre-makers are well suited to storytelling in the spaces created by immersive technology. With this said, there is a substantial knowledge and skills gap that needs to be overcome for this to be a reality for theatre artists. This workshop will begin the process of changing this.
