Simamba’s one-woman show Amy Jo Espetveidt Location Joyce Doolittle Theatre, Pumphouse Theatres 2140 Pumphouse Ave. SW Price $15 - $20 Buy Tickets An autobiographical account of a young woman’s journey of releasing trauma, embracing heritage, and uncovering her ultimate healing, join Handsome Alice Theatre for A Chitenge Story. Makambe K. Simamba’s one-woman show takes audiences deep into the sounds, smells, and spirits of Zambia. Surrounded by family, she is steeped in a single secret—she has returned to her ancestral home with a singular mission to find the identity of a man who abused her as a child and take justice into her own hands. Coming at a time when survivors of sexual harassment and assault are speaking up and being listened to, this unique play offers a new Canadian perspective that could not be more timely and relevant to Calgary’s diverse population. A Chitenge Story runs March 20 to 24, 2018 at the Joyce Doolittle Theatre, Pumphouse Theatres (2140 Pumphouse Ave. SW).
