Matchstick presented three in-person readings of Joan MacLeod’s 1987 play Toronto, Mississippi, August 19th-21st at the Maritime Conservatory for the Arts.

 We were thrilled to work with MacLeod’s established family drama, the first full length play of her decorated career. As part of our process, we invited members from the disability community to join us in conversations regarding accessibility and representation, particularly how these elements have changed over the last thirty-five years.
