333 by Jay Whitehead

by The Bus Stop Theatre

333 – The Toronto Bathhouse Raids is a gripping theatrical work that brings to life the events of February 5, 1981, when one of the largest mass arrests in Canadian history sparked a national reckoning. 333 captures the fear, defiance, and resilience of a community pushed to the brink—and the uprising that helped ignite Canada’s modern 2SLGBTQIA+ rights movement. Bold, urgent, and deeply human, it asks what it means to be seen, to be targeted, and to fight back. Please note, this production contains mature themes, staged violence, and full frontal nudity.
