This Stays in the Room

conceived by Mindy Parfitt and Alexa Devine

A collective creation based on true stories of shame and forgiveness. This Stays in the Room is courageous, revealing, humorous, and based entirely on the lived experiences of the creative team. Through text, song, photography, video and choreography, This Stays in the Room invited the audience on a very personal journey, to share a uniquely human state that is common to us all. Weaving together seven heart-rending stories – based entirely on the real lives of the creative team –  This Stay In The Room brought together several of Vancouver’s finest theatre artists in what is surely one of our most intimate and revealing pieces to date.
