SET DESIGN

How are we going to be remembered by future generations?

THE ASSEMBLY is a theatre-meets-board game experience in which audiences take charge of their community. As players work together to govern sustainably, they make tough decisions that ripple through history, because every performance of THE ASSEMBLY is connected; the next audience picks up where the last one left off. An exercise in empathy and long-term thinking, THE ASSEMBLY explores what it means to deepen our democracy. The show has been presented in multiple provinces across Canada.

We create different versions of the experience tailored to different ages, venues, and budgets. No matter the scale of the experience or the ages of our audiences, the core belief behind The Assembly remains that long-term thinking must become central to our worldview, or we are all doomed to become ‘bad ancestors’.
