“Every story deserves a stage, and every root deserves a place to grow.”
The Common Ground is a 100% volunteer-led production dedicated to elevating the voices of women and marginalized artists in London, Ontario. We believe in building a sanctuary where art and advocacy meet.
100% of our proceeds are split between anova and the Canadian Women’s Foundation, funding crisis response and systemic change for women across Canada.
THE STEMS • Local Donors & Individuals
Make a direct impact. Your donations fund our Barrier-Removal Initiatives including Performer Stipends (for transportation, childcare), Community Seats and other care costs. We are also accepting volunteers for the day of the show, as well as other contributions.
THE ROOTS • Businesses & Community Partners
We are seeking local businesses and partners to build the infrastructure of this show. Your support directly funds the venue, event experiences, technical production and marketing. Whether an in-kind or financial contribution, we would love all support!
The Common Ground is a 19+ event.
Our stage is a sanctuary for authentic storytelling, which may include adult themes, mature language, and provocative performance art.
We operate with a mandate of Radical Inclusion. This glade is a safe and celebratory space for sex workers, 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, and all marginalized identities.
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for harassment or discrimination of any kind. By entering this space—whether as a performer, volunteer, or guest—you agree to uphold these values of dignity, safety, and mutual respect.
