“Remembering an era that craved gentleness but breathed fire.
On Life and Living is a new documentary play written by Casey Stainsby, Amy Collier and Adjani Poirier and directed by Lorna Craig.
Based on interviews of past and present AIDS Community Care Montreal (ACCM) members, staff and volunteers ‘On Life and Living’ weaves together a story of the organization’s history using memories as a primary source. The play follows eight semi-fictionalized characters over a period of twenty-eight years as they recall their first encounters with the organization, experience some of ACCM’s pivotal moments, and grapple with the changing face of HIV/AIDS in Montreal.
Tickets can be paid in CASH ONLY at the box office on the night of the performance.
Ticket costs are sliding scale, with a suggested donation of between 5$ – $20 with a policy of no one being turned away for lack of funds. All of the money from ticket sales will be donated to AIDS Community Care Montreal.
