Women currently make up 52% of the population in Toronto. Join us as we bring their stories to life.

This impact-filled multi-year project celebrates the myriad of ways women have contributed to various facets of city life – in art, culture, politics, sports, technology, business, and more. To tell these important stories, this project has commissioned 24 exemplary playwrights to write 52 monologues – one for each transformational woman on our list.

This work will premiere as a participatory performance on September 23 as part of Nuit Blanche 2023.

Myseum of Toronto invites you to a preview of The 52: Stories of Women Who Transformed Toronto at Nuit Blanche. Celebrate remarkable Toronto women with us.

A grand and colourful stage in the heart of downtown Toronto will be yours to bring to life the legacies of people who have changed the course of history – not just for women, but for everyone.

In this enchanting evening, you can perform, watch, listen, and share. Take to the stage to step into her shoes by reading excerpts of original monologues from the perspective of The 52. Or sit back and be inspired by the stories of transformational and bold women who have left a lasting impact on Toronto.
