Join CKUT 90.3 FM for an intimate, dynamic [and FREE] workshop series on storytelling, production, and speaking truth to power! Facilitated by performance artist Ryan Thom, VOICES TO POWER is for any queer-identified person aged 14-29 with a story to tell, an interest in performing or media, a love of community activism, or any of the above! No previous experience necessary.

Participants will also have the opportunity to air their pieces on CKUT Radio (if they choose)!
