Publication of CBT Anthology

About:

Mandate:

For 35 years Carlos Bulosan Theatre (CBT) has produced theatre that reflects the social and political issues affecting the Filipino community in Canada. Through the creation and production of new innovative work, the development of emerging and professional artists, and community engagement, our work is a reflection of the ever-growing, vibrant artistic voice of Filipino-Canadians.

Project Mission:

The Carlos Bulosan Theatre Anthology documents Filipino-Canadian theatre material in a library and research-ready resource. The work featured in this Anthology are all written by CBT’s artists, both current and alumni and were workshopped or mounted throughout the company’s tenure.

You’ll fund this project because:

Representation matters to you.
Filipinos are one of Canada's fastest growing cultural groups, the third largest Asian Canadian group in the nation. Canadians need to have a resource that will serve as a reflection and celebration of the Filipino-Canadian community's rich history in and contributions to not only Toronto but to the country as well.

You believe in our artists.
Filipino-Canadian artists and storytellers will see themselves reflected in the work they access in libraries and schools. They need this to be able to stand on the shoulders of artists who have already blazed trails and cleared paths. You want to be part of the celebration of voices and stories of Filipino-Canadians, past, present, and future.

Diversity benefits us all.
This collection of all-original work will add to a growing Philippine and Canadian theatre anthology, celebrating diverse stories and voices that work within the mosaic of the multi-cultural country that is Canada.

You shop independent and local.
Carlos Bulosan Theatre is a diverse, local and independent theatre company, one that continues to serve and advocate for the Filipino-Canadian community despite limited financial opportunity and resource. Help a small company make great leaps!

Make your mark:

Be a part of preserving CBT's artistic history and help us say ‘We are here’ to help the next generation of Filipino-Canadian artists and storytellers orient themselves in their journeys and sojourns until they find their way home.
