    Yonnhe’ón:we Returns for Final Show in the 2024 Series: A Celebration of Storytelling Through Theatre, Song, and Film

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [15 October, 2024] – The Yonnhe’ón:we storytelling series returns for its final show of 2024, inviting the community to dive deep into the richness of and power of Indigenous storytelling. Join us on Thursday, November 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the Simcoe Street Theatre for an unforgettable evening that honors the spirit of stories as they weave together history, culture, and the shared human experience.

    Attendees at Yonnhe’ón:we will enjoy an inspiring lineup featuring a short play, a musical performance, and a documentary, each celebrating Indigenous storytelling and talent.

    “Our November 2024 event will mark a year for this series,” said Collingwood Poet Laureate, Jillian Morris.

    “So much of producing these events has been about facing fears, and putting in the work to bring about something meaningful. It feels fitting that we will celebrate with a theme of ‘confronting ghosts’ during the transformative time of the fall season.”

    Experience the premiere of the short play, “The Curse of Stolen Seeds,” written and hosted by Poet Laureate Jillian Morris. This poignant work delves into themes of reconciliation and healing as it follows the story of Evelyn and her estranged daughter Autumn. As they confront the ghosts of their past, the audience will witness their heartfelt journey in search of truth and reconciliation, brought to life by talented actors from the region.

    Adding to the evening’s thematic richness, Elder Jeff Monague returns to share wisdom through song, interweaving the Fall Yonnhe’ón:we theme of ghosts and the life-giving spirit of stories.

    The audience will also experience an exciting episode of “Ghost Hunters of the Grand River”, where a team from Six Nations ventures to investigate paranormal activity at a community theatre. Viewers will be captivated by the unique exploration of cultural narratives that intertwine with the supernatural.

    In a special segment, host Jillian Morris will engage in a conversation with cast member and ghost hunter Jay Smith, providing insights into the artistry behind the production and the significance of storytelling in addressing contemporary issues.

    The Yonnhe’ón:we series is a testament to the enduring legacy of storytelling, connecting generations, knowledge sharing and building understanding.

    Join us for an evening marked by creativity, connection, and community on November 14, at 7:00 p.m.

    Tickets are available at simcoestreettheatre.ca. Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in the transformative power of Indigenous storytelling!
