Grandma. Gangsta. Guerrilla. Celebrating family, history and connection
“There is value in learning and appreciating the sacrifices of our ancestors,” says playwright Abi Padilla. “But it is just as important not to diminish people for the trauma [they have experienced].” Her production of Grandma. Gangsta. Guerrilla., presented by Ruby Slippers Theatre, will be showcased at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts (Feb. 6–8) and Presentation House Theatre (Feb. 13–16).
