Hurricane Relief Fundraiser
From our very inception in 2013, social justice has been at the heart of our efforts. We make art because we seek to make positive change in the world.
In light of the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa across the Caribbean, particularly to the islands of Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, we are hosting an event on November 15, 2025 at the Nia Centre in Toronto to support hurricane relief. But we can do nothing without your support!
​
Come and re-experience our past successes, preview our upcoming productions, and support those in need! In light of the devastation caused by Hurricane Melissa across Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti, Culchahworks encourages you to participate in what will be both an evening of artistic and culinary delights as well as a show of solidarity for the diaspora living in the Caribbean. Through both live performances and video excerpts from past productions such as Global Marley, and Titans of Toronto Reggae, and previews of the next three years of programming, you'll have the inside track to all the exciting productions in store between 2026 and 2028. Part proceeds from this event will go to organizations on the ground providing food, water, medicine, and shelter, and helping to rebuild. It's an evening you don't want to miss - get your tickets today!
PLEASE NOTE: Culchahworks will donate part proceeds of this event to hurricane relief, but does not have the capacity to issue tax receipts. If you want to donate directly to hurricane relief efforts and receive a tax receipt, please consider donating to any of the organizations below.

What are the causes of war? Is war simply human nature? Is the goal of world peace realistic? Culchahworks Artistic Director Andrew Craig (aka Rhapsodius) presents a one-act show that poses these questions and more, and offers possible answers. War and Peace: Songs and Monologues features some of the greatest songs about war and peace composed in the 20th century, by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, and Bob Marley. Rhapsodius weaves together these songs with deeply considered monologues that draw equally from the ancient writings of Sun Tzu as well as from contemporary authors such as Gwynne Dyer, Margaret McMillan, Pema Chodron and the Dalai Lama. War and Peace: Songs and Monologues aims to educate, enlighten, uplift and inspire in equal measure, and leave you with the sense that a peaceful world is indeed possible, and that we can co-create it.

Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael: just three of the undisputed heroes of the USA Civil Rights Movement. Canada, however, can boast of its own equally galvanizing - and divisive - leader: Nova Scotia's Rocky Jones, supported by his then-wife, Joan Jones. Walter Borden had barely reached his mid-twenties when he met the Joneses - well before he became Canada's preeminent actor of Black-Indigenous origin. In the late 1960s, these three very nearly incited a revolution in Nova Scotia, all while the RCMP tried to suppress them - resulting in a drama fit for Hollywood.
