A Diaspora Diaries Collective production co-presented by Common Ground Arts and Mile Zero Dance. Amaya is an immigrant, a daughter of immigrants, and a granddaughter of immigrants. She hasn’t been there for most of her family’s biggest moments. But now, after missing out on a funeral and receiving life-changing news, she has to decide if that is the future she wants for herself and her new family. How did those who came before decide to leave everything that they knew behind? Did they ever regret their decision? And how can she find out when most of them are now gone? But the veil is thin, and sometimes, all you need to do to have your questions answered is ask.

Tough Guy follows a group of friends as they navigate the aftermath of a shooting at Aria, a queer nightclub. They’re all nursing wounds, visible and invisible, and are thrown into further turmoil when their friend Emerson, a rising star in the independent film scene, comes back home to film a documentary about the shooting. How do we go on when the unthinkable happens? What does it mean to point a camera at a catastrophe? How does queerness endure, time and time again? Winner of the 2025 Westbury Family Theatre Award and the 2025 Alberta Playwriting Competition, Tough Guy is at once an excavation of a tragedy and a celebration of the tenacity of queer joy. It’s gripping, visceral, sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, always unapologetic. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Image Description: The word "Tough" is projected on a black background 3 times. The words are stacked one on top of the other, in all caps and a bright red neon font. In front of the words there is a distorted image of a person screaming. They have shoulder length black hair and are wearing black clothes. Their hands are in fists at their sides. Photo Credit: Brianne Jang Image featuring Jasmine Hopfe
