Summer has gone by so fast, but the air is buzzing with excitement for fall: the CRIPSiE Fall Show and the announcement of our upcoming season Act One activities, which come together and coalesce in our new 2026/27 theme: Nothing About Us Without Us. Many of our artists have been hard at work preparing for the fall production of the same name, and we would love to have you join us witnessing their artistry!
Nothing About Us Without Us
runs Friday September 18 (7:30pm) and Saturday September 19 (1:30pm) at Fringe's Backstage Theatre, and is produced by Carly Neis & Calla Wright. Tickets and more info are available at the link below!
Please note, after the Sept. 19 matinee, there will be a short reception.
Purchase your very own CRIPSiE Nothing About Us Without Us shirt at one of our fall productions!
All artists featured in the show and 2026-27 season facilitators will receive one free of charge.
2026/27 Season Launch
The 2026-27 Season will be announced live during our September productions of Nothing About Us Without Us. The first half of the season, AKA "Act One" which runs October to January will be revealed in full at the show. Parts of the second half, or "Act II" are grant pending, so it will only be partially announced at the show. But we are dreaming big, and applying for the funding to make things happen! No matter what, CRIPSiE promises to deliver a dynamic and diverse program, and though we won't share too much about the season before the launch at the September show, trust that the coming CRIPSiE activities will give you spaces to learn, share, create, and connect in familiar and new ways. We hope you will join us this season!

Join us in welcoming our new board & staff!
In 2026, CRIPSiE saw a lot of change, and we are deeply grateful to all of the past staff and board members who worked with us and helped shape our organization. In the spirit of gratitude and collaboration, we have included a thank you section of our website honouring all of our past contributors that you can see here.
We also welcomed two new staff members, and a brand new Board of Directors! Please give a warm CRIPSiE welcome to our new Executive Director, Mallory Chipman, and our new Administrative Assistant, Kelin Flanagan, who are working alongside our Artistic Director, Alison Neuman! On the Board front, we are pleased to welcome Miranda Allen as our Board President, Catherine Tays as our Vice Chair/Secretary, Siri Nelson as our Treasurer, and Phoenix Rodunsky and Laurel Munro as Board Members at large.
If you come to our events, you will also likely meet our new rehearsal assistants, Marissa Karpiak, Yvonne Boon, and Jenna Greig who we are thrilled to have join us in helping make CRIPSiE spaces safe and accessible this season.
