Transformations Ottawa
Exploring LGBTQ2S+ Stories with Jeffrey Canton
Featuring stories from: Adam Frey, Jenny Jackson, Sarah Prisma, Carmel Whittle

Thursday May 22nd 7:00pm ET | Blackbox Studio, Arts Court
Ticket price: $23.00

Join us for an unforgettable evening of personal storytelling that celebrates the power of change, identity, and community. Transformations Ottawa brings together local LGBTQ2S+ storytellers to share pivotal moments of transformation in their lives—stories of becoming, belonging, and bold self-discovery.

Hosted by the incomparable Jeffrey Canton (he/him), this event promises heart, humour, and insight. Over the past three decades, Jeffrey has captivated audiences with original stories rooted in Toronto’s layered histories, his Jewish heritage, and his deeply personal queerstory—interwoven with gay show tunes and a touch of soft-shoe. A founding member of Queers in Your Ears, Jeffrey has shared his work across Canada and internationally, from Harbourfront Centre to Arirang Nights of Storytelling in Korea. He is a passionate storytelling coach, a celebrated teacher of “Transformations” with Storytelling Toronto, and the 2018 recipient of the Alice Kane Award.

Whether you're a member of the LGBTQ2S+ community or an ally, Transformations Ottawa offers a space to listen, connect, and reflect on the stories that shape us.
