STUFF premieres for the public as part of the Great Canadian Theatre Company’s 2023-24 season.
STUFF is about…our stuff. And us. And a planet we call home.
Imagine a time that could be now when teens all over the world –Teenage Task Forces– unite with one goal: eliminate stuff. They create the ITTFOSTWN: the International Teenage Task Force of Stuff That We Don’t Need. Impossible?
STUFF is about our attachment to material possessions, consumption, and confusing need with greed. Meanwhile, this living thing called Earth pays the price. But you know all this?
Oh – one more thing: STUFF is about being human: the “I am because I have” and the challenge of letting go.

[STUFF (Artwork Sophie Dean) [Image Description: Hand drawn poster image with photos of youth collaged in. Overall image of a landfill with two mountainous piles on the left and right. At the center is a river of glowing blues and purples, Three youth sit and play. A tall hand drawn figure stands in the center facing away, they are taller than the pile of garbage. They look out at a hazy green coloured horizon. Falling from the top of the image is a grocery cart and person, they appear to be coming from a break in the clouds with beams of light breaking through.]
