The Reading Rainbow Reading Rainbow: Support Us Chromatic Theatre’s “Reading Rainbow” is a play reading series exclusively for artists of colour. The purpose is to bring BIPOC folx in Calgary’s community together to share space, one afternoon at a time. We will sit together and read a play (generally by a culturally diverse artist), then chat about the play, and get to know one another. It’s an exercise in getting familiar with the canon of culturally diverse works in Canada, and in building community. ​ This is a drop in group – there is no obligation to attend every session. We are generously hosted by Mike Tan Photography, but have currently adjusted to meet digitally due to COVID-19 gathering restrictions. ​ We meet quarterly to read good plays, hang with good people, and enjoy good food together. ​ Sign Up for The Reading Rainbow below! *we ask that only members of the BIPOC community sign up Sign Up Here!

Medea Chromatic Theatre is producing a highly contemporary and anti-colonial production of Euripides’ classic tragedy, Medea. After Jason captures the Golden Fleece, in large part because of Medea, her magic, and her betrayal against her family, Jason takes Medea as a wife. A few years pass, their sons grow and prosper, when Jason decides to take another bride from his Grecian homeland for political reasons, offering to keep Medea as a mistress, illegitimating their children in the process. To keep her agency, self-respect, and cultural identity, she pays the ultimate price and kills her children. ​ Cast Direction by Alyssa Bradac Stage Management by Courtney Charnock Set and Lighting Design by Kathryn Smith Costume Design by Benjamin Toner Sound Design by Miquelon Rodriguez CAST Chantelle Han* Medea Justin Michael Carriere* Jason Ali DeRegt Aegeus/Chorus Carly McKee Creon/Chorus Jenna Rodgers Tutor/Chorus Makambe K.
