Our annual Pink Tie Galas have sold out each year to a room full of passionate, powerful feminists who have enjoyed an incredible time. The evening always brings together an exciting mix of people supporting both the arts and our feminist philosophy. This year, due to COVID-19, our Pink Tie event is looking a little different...

Nevertheless, we PerSISt!

In November 2020 PerSIStence Theatre will be hosting an online auction, in replace of our gala, to fundraise for our 2020-2021 season It's Women's Play.

How can you help?

PerSIStence Theatre is now accepting donations for our 2020 Pink Tie Auction! Do you have a cool piece of art that you want to re-home? Have an 'in' with a local business? Or maybe you would you like to donate to us directly?

Our Auction will be split into three weeks:
  • Week one starts Sunday November 1 at 12:00pm (noon) and closes on Sunday November 8 at 11:59am
  • Week two starts Sunday November 8 at 12:00pm (noon) and closes on Sunday November 15 at 11:59am
  • Week three starts Sunday November 15 at 12:00pm (noon) and closes on Sunday November 22 at 11:59am

Professional artists are offered a 50/50 split on all donations of their art to our auction.

Contact the PerSIStence Board of Directors C/O Erika Squires at erika@persistencetheatre.com with all of your donations or ideas and we would be happy to coordinate pick up or discuss more about this endeavour!

INDIGENOUS LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is vital to support the Indigenous people and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. As settlers, we must work toward understanding our privilege, as beneficiaries of both historical and ongoing colonialism, and acknowledge the horror and injustice perpetrated against the original inhabitants of North America.

We acknowledge the territory upon which we gather as the ancestral and unceded lands of the Beothuk and the island of Newfoundland as the ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq and Beothuk. We recognize the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut and the Innu of Nitassinan, and their ancestors, as the original people of Labrador.

We recognize the historic and ongoing presence and influence of Indigenous people in Newfoundland – recorded and unrecorded, acknowledged and unacknowledged. We recognize that Newfoundland and Labrador has a place in the ongoing legacy of colonial violence, including, but not limited to, the genocide of the Beothuk people, the horrors of the Residential School system, and far too many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Children.

We encourage all to join us in learning more about and supporting the Indigenous people and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. A great place to start is by connecting with First Light an organization that provides programs and services rooted in the revitalization, strengthening and celebration of Indigenous cultures and languages in the spirit of trust, respect, and friendship.
