Looking Forward

Odyssey Showcase is creating innovative ways to combine live performance events with new productions, educational support materials and platforms including digital presentations.

As part of this process, we are assisted by an advisory board made up of members with varied experiences and diverse professional and cultural backgrounds.

Developing and transitioning Canada Speaks is our newest proposed major initiative.

  • Canada Speaks will feature performers from culturally diverse heritages sharing their own life experiences and stories of historic figures they portray.
  • Canada Speaks is an evolving original project, inspired by our long-running signature productions A Musical Taste of Our Canadian Heritage/Notre patrimoine canadien, une odyssée musicale and The Gift of Jazz: From Africa to New Orleans to The True North Strong and Free.
  • Canada Speaks will allow audience members to come away with a better understanding of the parallels about racism that existed historically and that still exists in modern day realities.
  • Canada Speaks will also provide an opportunity for the performers to learn more about their own history and the history of others.

The program is designed to enlighten participants and make Canadian and related history exciting and accessible by providing entertaining, educational, multicultural and multilingual encounters.

Canada Speaks will confront unfounded ideas, prejudices and misinformation from all sources by providing accurate information from authentic perspectives and promoting discussions reflective of all voices in an inclusive setting.

The emphasis will continue to be on providing original, innovative and unique educational and entertaining insights into Canadian history especially Indigenous and Black historical experiences in Canada.

Through Canada Speaks we will re-imagine and adapt the content, platform and delivery of our successful live theatrical projects.

Odyssey Showcase welcomes donations and expressions of interest from potential sponsors. For more information please email us at info@odysseyshowcase.org or call Deborah Davis, Executive Director at 613-321-2066.
