Sisters of ’78

By Kristen Da Silva

SEP 30, 2026 TO OCT 17, 2026

In 1978, a switch flipped — and an entire community felt the shock.

From award-winning Hamilton playwright Kristen Da Silva comes Sisters of ’78, an unforgettable story of courage, solidarity, and the women who dared to change the course of history.

Inspired by the historic Fleck Strike in Centralia, Ontario, Sisters of ’78 is a fierce, funny, and deeply moving ensemble drama about women who refused to stay silent.

As unsafe conditions and harassment push workers to the brink, friendships are tested, neighbours divided, and an ordinary factory becomes the front line of a fight for dignity, equality, and collective power.
