THE FRONTLINERS

 

by Zahida Rahemtulla 
A Blackout Art Society, Firehall Arts Centre and Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre Production 


Zahida Rahemtulla (The Wrong Bashir) brings another comedic drama, The Frontliners, to the Firehall stage. 

The Frontliners takes audiences to an East Vancouver hotel in early 2016 where three beleaguered employees scramble to find homes for new families from Syria in the midst of a housing crisis.

 

In the spirit of storytelling, we pause to honour the ancient narratives of this land. We stand upon the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. 

Just as we celebrate the diverse voices of immigrant and refugee artists, we recognize the First Peoples who have woven this place's first and enduring tales. Their stories are a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. As we come together from many corners of the world, may we always remember, respect, and learn from the stories that this land holds.
