Halifax Fringe Festival - I am 108
Juanita Bang Bang, a Latina drag queen, tells and enacts the story of the number 108: the number of males, presumably homosexuals, detained during a murder investigation conducted by the Paraguayan Dictator Alfredo Stroessner in 1959. To this day, this number is used as a way to discredit a person based on their sexual orientation. However, the number has been reclaimed by local LGBTQ+ members from a shameful association to one of pride. "I am 108" focuses on the fusion of extravagance and meaningful narrative.

Chosen Christmas
For the past eight years, Sam and their friends have been celebrating the holidays with their own chosen Christmas dinner. Over time, the group has changed, as have the traditions, adding new ones while outgrowing others.
