Update on She Spreads

We want to thank you so much for supporting She Spreads, it means the world to us. As Omicron has continued to spread we have made the very difficult decision to cancel the live version of our show. We will be using our time and resources to create a filmed version of the play that will be available in early February. We feel this is the best way to keep our team and community safe and make a beautiful piece of art. If you would like to stay in touch please get in touch with the Factory Theatre box office (boxoffice@factorytheatre.ca) and we will send you a link to the filmed version when it is ready.

Patrons who purchased tickets to the live, in-person performance of She Spreads will receive an email from the Factory Theatre Box Office shortly confirming a refund on your order.


About the Show

Something strange is infecting a small town in Alberta. Nobody knows why. But it is spreading.
A butcher receives a mountain of meat. A Haul Truck Driver is stuck in a dream. A bartender is growing wings.
When it feels like the world is collapsing, what do we sacrifice in order to survive?

First seen in Why Not Theatre’s 2016 Riser Project; She Spreads is mysterious, funny, surprising and poetic. Follow three un-named women through one transformative day after which things will never be the same. For more information please visit: https://shespreads.com/
