From the May 24th Instagram post by Savio Joseph:

I still remember doing my very first theatre show almost ten years ago. No big crew, no real plan—just a bunch of us figuring it out as we went, and a room full of friends and family who believed in me way before anyone else did.

Fast forward to now… and I’m going on tour. Like, actual cross-Canada, coast-to-coast tour.

The team’s a little bigger now, the vision’s a little stronger—and we couldn’t be more excited to bring this to life.

This is an independently produced tour, built show by show, city by city. And now we’re taking it across the country.
