Jumblies Theatre,

http://www.creativecity.ca/resources/project-profiles/Toronto-Jumblies-Theatre.html

Through a long-term artist residency at the Davenport Perth Neighbourhood Centre  Jumblies Theatre develops meaningful and accessible community arts in a low-income Toronto neighbourhood, and connects people across generational, cultural, and physical boundaries. Projects strengthen the social fabric of the community and provide participating individuals with specific skills and experience needed to increase their own social capital and means of participation in the community. Specific challenges faced by area residents include poor English skills, unemployment, and a low sense of community. Jumblies Theatre brings professional artists to neighbourhoods to make art with, about, and for the people who live there. The participatory activities are free of charge, and participants are encouraged to contribute to the production in whatever capacity they feel most comfortable, as makers, performers, or production assistants.
