Growing Up Regent is a play created from within Toronto’s oldest public housing community. After the shooting death of sixteen year old Travis, his chosen family struggles with grief, guilt, the police, and adult decisions made way too young. Will Lila find solace in her spoken word? Will Kalima’s foray into social media help or hinder? Will Fleurie’s friends be able to intervene before it’s too late? A testament to the significance of love and family in hard times, Growing Up Regent asks the question – What would you do for the people you love?
