Description

In Arms is the first queer mandated theatre company in Edmonton. With the intention of expanding beyond the confines of the
University, In Arms hopes to serve the broader Edmonton community by nurturing the Edmonton Theatre community with yearly original devised plays as well as professional productions. Further, Drama Based Queer Education programs that work with a variety of groups will enrich our city’s culture of queer theory. The fight against homophobia, transphobia, sexism, and patriarchal power imbalances is rooted in a strong and confident educated stance. Through the use of the arts, In Arms will be another voice telling all its current and prospective citizens that they are welcome in our city.
