Join the Capilano College
Theatre Students for an
Entertaining and Educational
Performance of a Power Play

Il members of the College

community are encouraged to
participate in what could be a lifesaving
educational experience.

A six-day run of Safe?, a power play
production by the theatre department of
Capilano College and Headlines
Theatre, will present audience members
with an entertaining and creative
opportunity to explore harassment and
personal safety.

Performances will take place on
September 23, 24 and 25 at 12:30 p.m.
and on September 26, 27 and 28 at 8
p.m. in R building, room 105 at
Capilano College (north end).
Admission is by donation with all
proceeds going toward the College’s
new 350-seat performance theatre and
to the Safer Campus Initiative.

During several short plays, the
audience will be invited to intervene in
the action to suggest solutions which

can restore balance to a relationship or
situation. Participants will explore,
empower and educate themselves on how
to reduce violence and to recognize,
respect and establish personal
boundaries.

“Capilano College theatre students are
getting a terrific start to their year,” says
Dawn Moore, College chair of Visual
and Performing Arts. “It’s really thrilling
and energizing to be part of a theatre full
of people who can affect change and be a
part of a solution. Anyone who has a
concern about their personal safety will
benefit from this experience.”

Safe? is part of Capilano College’s
Safer Campus Initiative funded by the
Ministry of Skills, Training and Labour.
It is a result of the provincial
government’s Skills Now! initiative

which began in 1994.
