Our first edition at Frog in Hand’s new home, the Unitarian Congregation in Mississauga. We started the summer evening outside where the first few pieces engaged the audience and interfaced directly with the warm summer evening. Eventually we paraded into the Great Hall where we finished the evening with music and dance.

The evening consisted of performances by:

‘Alt Milk’ by Jessie Garon performed by Frog in Hand Summer Company members Samantha Wan, Julia Mak and Petra Toop
The Tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight told by Brandon Lista
‘Pastel’s Memory’ a clown turn by Andrew Gaboury
‘what remains’ by Denise Igama, performed by Samantha Wan
A musical set by Tangi Lion
