Happy Lunar New Year friends! Today, we acknowledge the important stories our Chinese neighbours have to share with us. Find just one of these stories linked below. Wishing you a happy new year filled with luck, prosperity, and new opportunities to learn from each other in 2021.

It’s cliché to say but now more than ever we feel a responsibility to offer a form of physical distanced communion. We are facing a 99% decrease in ticket revenue but we are determined! We are double downing on our commitment to foster common understanding and empathy across our diverse human experiences. Your vital donation will help as we embark on a new digital reimagining. VIRTUAL HUMANITY builds on our eight years of experience producing our Community Engagement pr...oject, THE HUMAN LIBRARY. VIRTUAL HUMANITY is a project designed to shatter preconceived notions about otherhood; to challenge our biases and misunderstandings, and put a human face to difference as a means to foster empathy. All from the social distanced comfort of your own home. Donate today for #GivingTuesday: https://zeezeetheatre.ca/donate/

7 years later our Associate Artistic Director Dave shard the purpose of Zee Zee's Human Library Project with the Vancouver Sun. Pivoting the same event to what is now titled "Virtual Humanity," our goal remains the same. Don't underestimate what you can learn from someone new in 20 minutes.

You may remember LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR as a 2014 season premiere. Presentation House Theatre is doing a reading of this play on Sunday, November 22. It's written by our Associate Artistic Director and Playwright-in-Residence, Dave Deveau. "Harmony is trying to get back on her feet post-divorce, and ends up on a booze-filled date with Peter. But when she walks in on her seventeen-year-old son Trevor kissing him it unleashes something powerful and sacred in her. Their three lives are set in motion perpetually intertwined."
