NEW WINNIPEG
It has been 30 years since the apocalyptic devastation of The Great World Flood. In honour of this 30th anniversary our famed leader Cassandra invites you to visit New Winnipeg and experience all we have to offer.
Forget the Winnipeg you think you know. The flood waters have washed away the follies of the past to make way for The New Winnipeg - an equitable, sustainable, and united community. Join us and be a part of something remarkable. Trust us, you'll be Glad to Be Here.
Come see why people are packing it in and paddling to our paradise.

Note: This is an immersive theatrical production. Audience members will be part of the show, but will not be put on the spot. Audience members will move with the show, but our venue is accessible for those with limited mobility (walkers and wheelchairs welcome) as well as limited sight. Washrooms are gender neutral. This project, however, involves audio devices so some hearing is necessary for the full experience.
