Broadleaf Theatre Presents: The Chemical Valley Project

Programmed as part of the Designing Paradise initiative, McMaster University’s School of The Arts is pleased to invite you to three very special performances of Broadleaf Theatre’s THE CHEMICAL VALLEY PROJECT.

In Sarnia, Ontario, an Indigenous community of 800 residents, is smothered by the Canadian petrochemical industry. Two siblings from Aamjiwnaang First Nation, Vanessa Gray and Beze Gray, have dedicated themselves to fighting environmental racism and to protecting their community’s land, air and water.

A breathtaking blend of documentary-theatre, innovative projection design, a charismatic script and playful
solo-performance engage and implicate audiences in The Chemical Valley Project. This urgent production delves gracefully into difficult conversations on Indigenous treaty rights, the nature of contemporary Canadian identity and values, and Canada’s notorious “Chemical Valley”.
