Crossroads Theatre hosts and participates in community-oriented programming throughout the calendar year, including the WMDSPN Fall Festival, Weston Winterfest, and Toronto’s Nuit Blanche.
Nuit Blanche 2025
The Good Stuff
A Community Object Drive for Nuit Blanche
The Good Stuff is an ode to the small things in our lives and the big stories and legacies they carry.
📆 Saturday, October 4th, 2025
⏰ 7:00PM
📍 Crossroads Studio (34 John Street, Weston Commons, ON M9N 1K6).
We believe that cherished objects reveal something essential about the people who hold them dear. During Nuit Blanche, become the curator of an evolving art exhibit - enter into a photography and sound recording studio to have your personal object documented.
Do you have a treasured object with a story?
On October 4th, bring that object to be photographed, and record your story to go with it!
These photos will culminate in a gallery installation in the Spring/Summer of 2026, challenging traditional ideas of artistic value by elevating the stories behind everyday things and the people who love them.
Every neighbourhood has stories worth sharing - and through these objects, we begin to truly see Weston, discovering meaning in what is often overlooked. Help create a portrait of Toronto - shaped by your small objects and the big stories they hold.
We are also collecting objects to turn into puppets!
Do you have a household object that you’ve been meaning to get rid of that is quirky, visually interesting, or just plain odd? Bring it to the Crossroads Studio during Nuit Blanche to donate it, and your unwanted object might become a puppet in our next production!
We are especially interested in collecting fabric, shiny things, things made of bamboo or rattan - but we are open to anything! We are curious about these specific items: fish bowl, horse/ toys, wooden broomsticks, prisms, costume jewelry, fans.
Please only consider donating anything you would feel comfortable dropping off at a value village or giving to a friend for free.
💡 Broken? Perfect. Weird? Even better.
🧼 Just keep it clean(ish) — no mold, mystery goop, or strong smells, please!
These donated objects will be transformed into puppets and characters in a magical, original theatre piece we will be developing this fall and that will be performed for free in Little Avenue Memorial Park in 2026.
🔄 Help us bring your everyday things to life in a joyful, creative way!
As members of the Weston Mount Dennis Service Providers’ Network (WMDSPN), we participate in a thrilling Fall Festival every year! This Fall, Crossroads Theatre programmed an afternoon of music and entertainment on the main stage!
We look forward to planning another exciting event for 2026

Weston Winterfest

Winter’s Whisper: Solstice Storytelling
presented by Poetry Decoded and Crossroads Theatre
Join us for a special two-day storytelling event celebrating the Winter Solstice. In this intimate gathering, we reconnect with the ancient tradition of sharing stories during the longest nights of the year. As the cold settles in, we’ll create a cozy, warm atmosphere filled with storytelling and music, invoking a deep sense of human connection.
Nuit Blanche 2023
Crossroads Theatre was overjoyed at the incredible turnout to our exhibit for Nuit Blanche 2023. This exhibit, called Undocumented.Stories, was in partnership with Access Alliance, and featured over 100 handwritten stories from members of our community living with precarious immigration status. The exhibit also included video interviews and audio recordings.
We can’t wait to participate in Nuit Blanche again soon. Check back later to see what the next exhibit will be!
