The Tashme Project
The Tashme Project: The Living Archives 2010-2019 Winner of Best New Text- Montreal English Theatre Awards.

The Tashme Project tells the story of the Japanese Canadian internment during WW2, weaving memories of those who were children in the camps, together with the legacy and impact of that experience on the younger generations of Japanese Canadians.
