Toronto is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and M&eacute;tis peoples. Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.&nbsp; DNT&#39;s three leading values are Representation, Community, and Storytelling as Activism.&nbsp; With Representation we seek to provide more opportunities for the immensely talented theatre practitioners who have been denied opportunity because of their marginalized gender and sexual identities. In regards to Community, with a rehearsal space where we are the majority, we can offer a more nuanced representation of trans, non-binary, and queer characters on stage. Lastly, with Storytelling as Activism, we seek to add to the greater canon of trans works being created. It is more important than ever to tell trans, non-binary, and queer stories that centre growth and joy so that we can dream an affirming future into existence.&nbsp; You can read more about us at <a fr-original-style="" href="https://deadnametheatre.weebly.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">www.deadnametheatre.weebly.com</a>&nbsp;
