SISTAS CALLING
The theme of 2024 is to SPREAD AWARENESS, so we are having an open concert, free to the public. Join us at the Amphitheatre HW Patio at the University of Toronto Scarborough campus! The afternoon will feature LIVE performances from some of the cast and dancers from Sistas Calling, as well as music from album "Dr. Roz & Sistas" performed on steelpan by Supernovas Steel Orchestra! As an extra treat, there will be a marketplace where attendees can buy food, drinks and some other goods like clothing, jewelry, and skincare. We cannot wait to see you there!

Journey with Rosa, through healing, to freedom. Inspired by the story of Rosa, a former client at Dr. Roz's Healing Place, this "moving" production is considered to be the first of its kind in Canada - the first to bring awareness and education on stage using music, dance, theatre, and spoken word.
