Looking for a great mid-week plan? Soulpepper Theatre is hosting a free screening of *The African Desperate*, a hilarious and hyperreal satire by multimedia artist Martine Syms.
About the Film Inspired by Syms' own experiences as an MFA student at a predominantly white institution, the film follows Palace Bryant through her dizzying last 24 hours at art school. It’s a wild, satirical journey that touches on everything from academic critiques to the hedonistic world of elite institutions.
Event Details - **When:** Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. (Doors at 6:30 p.m.) - **Where:** Soulpepper Theatre Co, 50 Tank House Lane. - **Cost:** Free general admission.
While the event is free, it is highly recommended that you book your tickets in advance to ensure your spot. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy some independent cinema in the Distillery District.
