“Tallawah” – BTW’s 55th season is one of

“The Jamaican idiom “We likkle, but we tallawah”, “We are little, but resilient”, captures the spirit of Black Theatre Workshop as we enter our 55th season. One of Canada’s oldest theatre companies, BTW stands as a pillar of Montreal’s English theatre community and a home base for Black artists nationwide.”

Land Acknowledgment
Black Theatre Workshop (BTW) is located on the traditional and unceded Indigenous lands of the Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Tiohtià:ke, also known as Montreal, has been the site of human creativity and storytelling for millennia, and has served as a meeting place of many First Nations peoples, including but not limited to the Abenaki, Anishinaabeg (Algonquin) and Huron-Wendat. Our deepest respect goes out to the Elders of these communities and to all Indigenous peoples who carry the history of these land and waters, caring for it and calling it home.
Black Theatre Workshop would like to thank TD Bank Group for their
unrelenting support to our efforts in bringing Black theatre to life.
