The theatre group travelled internationally presenting works in Europe the UK Asia and Australia that includes participation of individuals ranging in age from children to senior citizens. In tandem with international performances the organization is working with youth and seniors in priority neighbourhoods in Toronto Canada and across Ontario.

The organization has developed new work locally in Canada and is spending more time connecting and exploring local work with neighbourhoods across Ontario. Alongside local work the organization tours internationally and is gearing up to premiere a number of the new works in the near future. The organization continues to explore innovative methods of connection in the digital realm with the aim of enhancing participation.
